2000 PROTEST AGAINST TERRORISM IN IRAQ

Now this is news! Except that you have to wade through paragraph upon paragraph of details about bombings and missing people to see it. The writers at the AP really need to stay on focus before. Like I was taught in elementary school, “Opening, support, closing.” You’ll see from the article that their’s is more like “Opening, several paragraphs unrelated to the headline whatsoever, small snippet of relevant information.” I’ll put three dots for every paragraph skipped to get there:

BAGHDAD, Iraq – More than 2,000 people demonstrated Tuesday at the site of a car bombing south of Baghdad that killed 125 people, chanting “No to terrorism!”



















More than 2,000 people held the impromptu demonstration on front of the clinic, chanting “No to terrorism!” and “No to Baathism and Wahhabism!”

Wahhabism is a reference to adherents of the strict form of Sunni Islam preached by Osama bin Laden (news – web sites), while the Baath party was the political organization that ran Iraq under Saddam Hussein (news – web sites).

The demonstrators also demanded that interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi step down.

I wonder what year Cracker Jacks had journalism diplomas inside its boxes?
