Sensationalism From Reuters

Headline: Iraq government warns of risk of "endless civil war"

First Sentence: "Iraq's defense minister warned on Saturday of the risk of a "civil war" that "will never end" as sectarian violence flared again despite a second day of curfew in Baghdad."

The quote from which Reuters extrapolated their introduction: "If there is a civil war in this country it will never end," said Defense Minister Saadoun al-Dulaimi, a Sunni in the Shi'a-led government.

Seems Reuters is editorializing in their 'news'...
