\"Fox
\n “Nerve Gas Released By Iraq Roadside Bomb<\/b>“<\/p>\n

Important stuff up first. Nerve Gas. Iraq. Roadside Bomb.<\/td>\n

\"CNN
\n “Artillery round in Iraq emits sarin gas, U.S. military says<\/b>“<\/p>\n

The incident’s diminishing begins. It’s just an artillery round emitting a gas, not an improvised explosive device.<\/p>\n

Main headline involves story of Iraq Governing Council leader.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Fox
\n “Sarin, Mustard Gas Found in Iraq<\/b>“<\/p>\n

Elaborating and emphasizing the WMD.<\/td>\n

\"CNN
\n “Busy Hurricane Season Ahead<\/b>“<\/p>\n
