Reuters Uses Baghdad Rocket Attack for It's Anti-American Agenda

Occasionally Anti-Americanism is exported to the world by - US news organizations.

Take Reuters. Reporting on the rocket attack this Sunday on the Baghdad hotel where US Deputy Defense Secretary Wolfowitz stayed, Reuters observes:

IRAQIS REGRET WOLFOWITZ SURVIVED

Angry at U.S. occupation, Iraqis expressed regret at what they saw as an assassination attempt had failed.

"I wish Wolfowitz had been killed. I wish all Americans here would be killed," said Ali Hussein, a grocer in central Baghdad. "The Americans are not human beings, they are monsters. They lied to the Iraqi people."

That's it. One Iraqi - one!! - displays anger at the Americans, and in Reuters mathematics this is "Iraqis".

And I thought, only the German media play these anti-American games...

Update 1: Site visitors tell me, Reuters is a British, not a US company. Well, let's call them "International News Organization" - and anti-American they are.

Update 2: The Reuters release regarding the Baghdad blast has been changed in the last hour. The headline "IRAQIS REGRET WOLFOWITZ SURVIVED" is gone, substituted by ""NOTHING PERSONAL". The part "Angry at ... Iraqi people" is still there.

Reuters may be carried by US news organizations, but it is a British company (founded by a German immigrant in 1851.)

Also note that the one Iraqi interviewed was named Hussein... say, do they have a picture?

Here's another international news organization, the Associated Press (I don't know who runs them) reporting on the same event:

"In a daring strike, anti-American forces unleashed a barrage of rockets Sunday against the Al Rasheed Hotel, a symbol of the U.S. presence, where visiting Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz was staying."

"The attackers had boldly driven to the edge of a park just 500 yards southwest of the hotel..."

"Daring" and "bold": the tone sounds rather admiring.

N. Klaric,

Where is the url for this report about "Anschlag auf Kriegstreiber"? I could only find "Anschlag auf Kriegsplaner".

Thanks for your assistance.
