Those AP boys are at it again.
To paraphrase the once governor of Texas, Ann Richards, "Poor AP. They kaint hepp it; they was born with a liberal bone up their behind". These AP boys feel that good news is anathema to good reporting. They just can't let it speak for itself. Note the obligitory, unrelated bad news in the second and third paragraph of this good news story about the Iraqi police and a successful rescue of hostages.
My apologies for the migrating yahoo link concerning that AP story. I have now linked to ABC for that AP story.
