Liars

The Reuters headline - all over Google News - is "Israel steps up military operations". Kind of makes it look like Sharon is about to undermine the peace process by reigniting military operations. The actual lede reads:

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has said Israel is escalating military measures and would freeze peace efforts after a Tel Aviv suicide bombing unless Palestinians smashed militant groups.

Meaning that Sharon is threatening to restart military operations if, after an undisclosed amount of time, Abbas doesn't take action against terrorists (read: "please say you're going to do something so we don't have to act").
