#1 Al Reuters again:

"In a sign of the insurgents’ confidence, a group beheaded an Iraqi soldier in broad daylight in the restive rebel town of Ramadi"

So, a hit-and-run atrocity is a sign of confidence? This is a good example of media bias actually inciting an atrocity by predictably applying an irrationally positive and emotionally loaded interpretation. I wonder if it was a sign of confidence when a Somali mob tore three Reuters correspondants to pieces in Mogadishu in 1993?

"Many Iraqis are likely to regard the election as a distraction from the problems they face on a daily basis."

How many? This is so vague as to be meaningless. Since when does Al Reuters speak for Iraqi opinion, anyway, and why insert this speculative and unsupported pronoucement into a news story?
