On CNN.com today there’s a headline that clicks through to an article – both the headline and the related article are about the recent arrest of 8 terrorism suspects in the UK.
I can’t find even a hint related to the death penalty in the article. Why would CNN.com’s international News create a headline like this:
Should Convicted Qaeda Members Get a Death Sentence?
That headline clicks through to an article with the following five initial paragraphs:
LONDON, England (CNN) — British police have charged eight men arrested two weeks ago with terrorism-related offenses, including conspiracy to commit murder.
They are also accused of public nuisance by “using radioactive materials, toxic gases, chemicals and/or explosives to cause a disruption.”
In addition, one of the men is charged with possessing plans that could have been used as the basis for a terror attack on financial institutions in New York and Washington.
He and another man face a similar charge concerning a financial building in New Jersey.
The eight men were among 12 arrested on August 3 during raids in northwest London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Lancashire. They were held under the Terrorism Act 2000.
WTF ?
