Iraq Says 85 Militants Killed at Rebel Base
Look at this headline. "Iraq Says 85 MIlitants Killed at Rebel Base." The only time they ever question a body count is when it comes from our side. If it was 85 Iraqi civilians killed by coalition bombers, and the source was some militant leader with a scarf over his face, the headline would read something like, "At Least 85 Iraqi Civilians Killed by Coalition Bombers."

The whole "at least" part is merely sensationalism at its best. I mean, who cares if enemy militants die. We expect that to happen. But innocent civilians, you always have to make it look worse than what it is for the extra pull at the heart strings.
