Juxtapositions

I enjoy reading Google News every so often to see what the headlines of the day are. The way it works, Google's computers go out and try and figure out what stories are the most mentioned in the various global media. It then puts the articles for the same story together, and puts the stories into categories, with the most important first. All this happens without human intervention. Which is why today I saw a headline US Soldiers Lured Into Ambush by Iraqi Civilians, Says US Official next to Situation in Iraq `better than you probably think,' Bush says.
