BBC "Reports" News

   [1]The Pirate King "points out" the judicious use of quotation marks
   by BBC reporting in the story "US 'Kills' Key Iraq Shrine Bomber."

     What the hell are the quotes around kill for? Should part of this
     article say âWink wink nudge nudge know what I mean?â

   The Beeb - whose credibility is somewhere above The Weekly World News
   and below that of al-Jazeera - opens itself up for some good fun.

   Germans "Bomb" London. Germans "Exterminate" Jews in Auschwitz.
   Princess Diana "Dies" in Accident.
