HEADLINE DECEPTION

From James Taranto, Best of the Web, at Opinion Journal.com: There's a Sucker Born Every Minute

"U.S. and Iraqi forces raided a bomb factory yesterday, the Associated Press reports from Baghdad:

The entry room to the al-Arij factory was booby-trapped and the building was empty because the workers fled after apparently being tipped off to the raid, according to the officer, army commander Brig. Gen. Nour al-Din Hussein. He said an anti-aircraft gun was hidden on the roof.

Until three years ago, the building was used to make candy. The AP's headline: "U.S.-Iraqi Forces Raid Lollipop Factory."
