There is précis, and then there's....

I know newspapers have to have arresting headlines in order to attract readers, but is this going too far?  Referring to the "ink cartridge" bomb threat, one paper's headline claiming we were "Seconds from Lockerbie II" went on to say the bomb was "primed to bring down plane over UK, says Home Secretary".  Really?  Let's see what she actually said:  "The target may have been an aircraft. Had it detonated, the aircraft could have been brought down. The device was viable and could have exploded.  We do not believe that the perpetrators of the attack would have known the location of the device when it was planned to explode."  Not quite the same thing, is it?
