Taliban said to be furious over US missile strike
Maybe I missed the memo about the new happy Taliban. And how is it news that anyone is furious about a missile strike. Missile strikes are frequently infuriating unless 'missile strike' is the new slang for 'chocolate chip cookies.' Because that would be more newsworthy.
Exercise for incompetent copywriter apologists: find a similar headline from WWII. Something along the lines of 'Fuhrer Verklemmt Over Firebombing.'
