Under the head of 'An American Nightmare' (15/5/07) we read that US troops have been 'kidnapped' by 'al-Qu’ida'. It’s not clear who holds the by-line for the front page, either Rupert Cornwall or Patrick Cockburn, not that it matters either way as on turning to page 2 we find that both are singing from the same song sheet. The copy on the front page asserts without question that the US troops have been 'kidnapped by al-Qu’ida in Iraq' but on page 2 in a piece by Rupert Cornwall we read that '[There is] no firm proof' merely a 'belief' by US commanders that it’s an 'al-Qu’eda’ operation.
