Xinhua: Raid On Terrorists Was Raid On Civilians

It's really amazing to see the global feeding frenzy that this Gaza story has triggered. The media finally has a story of fifteen-plus civilian casualties that they don't even have to make up (what will their Photoshop people do for fun now?) There are a lot of just outright shameless headlines floating around, but the one at the very top of the list right now was this Xinhua headline:

Bush urges probe into Israel's raid on civilians. US President George W. Bush said Wednesday that he is "deeply saddened" by the killing of 18 Palestinian civilians during an Israeli raid in the Gaza Strip and called for a quick investigation.

From the headline "Bush urges probe into Israel's raid on civilians", you'd almost think that Israel had conducted a raid on civilians. Instead of a raid on terrorists who were hiding out in the apartment building that Israel was aiming at, before they missed and accidentally hit the apartment building right next to it.
