Sitting atop Google News for some time has been this Reuters article, which sadly blows coverage of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s trip to the UK. With the headline “Rice admits ‘thousands’ of errors in Iraq,” you’d think she made the trip just to tell the resident protesters they were right.

“Yes, I know we have made tactical errors, thousands of them,” she said in answer to a question over whether lessons had been learned since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
“I believe strongly that it was the right strategic decision, that Saddam had been a threat to the international community long enough,” she added.

She was actually there to discuss the proper way to deal with Iran. You have to go to the next page to find out, though, and it’s buried between the ever-important coverage of the anti-war protesters:

“How many lives per gallon?” asked one of the placards held aloft, in reference to the U.S. invasion of oil-rich Iraq which many Britons opposed.

Reuters sure knows how to miss the story.
