What the Grey Lady said in the headline.
Australian Court Jails Muslim Cleric
Sounds shocking. What possible reason could the court have had for jailing the “Muslim Cleric”?
A Muslim cleric convicted of forming a terrorist cell in Australia was sentenced Tuesday to 15 years in prison, bringing the country’s largest terrorism trial to a close. Six of his followers were ordered to serve between six and 10 years in prison.
I’m curious – why wasn’t the headline “Australian Court Jails Muslim Terrorists”? Why didn’t they disclose the most important information in the headline?
