Missing the Point

Three stories, same events, different focus:

Number One: reporter thinks she sees “Middle Eastern” terrorists performing a dry run at assembling a bomb on board a flight from Detroit to Los Angeles.

Number Two: “reporter”‘s suppositions debunked as overreaction which threatened both cover of air marshals on board as well as safety of passengers.

Number Three: AP story makes NO MENTION of overreaction of “reporter”, draws conclusion to “airline security questions”.

(Note also that Number Three was written at least three days after the dateline on Number Two — which wasn’t exactly hidden, since I saw a link to the damn thing on boingboing last week. There is such a thing as being too vigilant.)
