A proper headline would have read: "Marines and Iraqi forces kill 25

insurgents".
I'd be careful about using the word insurgent. A majoritu of Iraqis
want
us the hell out of their country. At some point, the "insurgents" may
become, in the minds of the Iraqi people, "freedom fighters."
In the minds of the Iraqi people? More like in the headlines of the
liberal
press. The same headline in the NY Times probably would have read:
"Blood-thirsty US Marines murder 25 Iraqis"
It's obvious you don't read much.
Harry,
Go back to the original link that I cited. They changed the word "Iraqis"
to now read "Insurgents".
Here's the first link:

Here's a Guardian link of the way it was originally written:

I'm paranoid, right?!?!?
Way back when, before you were born, I was a reporter and then a desk
editor for a major newspaper. Part of my job was to take wire service
copy, edit it, and write headlines to fit the paper's style. In those
days, and perhaps even now, the paper required major news stories to
have decked headlines, with several subheads.
You apparently are under the delusion that a media outlet simply
publishes a news story the way it comes in over the transom.
As I have stated, you are young and have little experience of the world.
