There seems to be an epidemic in this NG of (OT) headers that find

support in the post that follows the header. Explanation?

==========================================
Ahmed Chalabi is now being tagged by his detractors as a con-artist
who duped American officials and worse yet, betrayed the American
people, while earning a tidy sum in the process.
==========================================

I humbly offer the following in the way of a possible explanation.

a) The President (GWB) is an 'American Official'.

While I appreciate your humble explanation, I humbly submit that the
simple fact that GWB is an American official in no way means the term
"American officials" in the article refers to him. In fact I would
humbly point out that he is not referred to in the article -at all-,
which was the reason for my humble reference to the numerous times
that a characterization in a header is not supported by the post
itself.
