The headline reads thusly: "Al-Maliki flies to London for medical tests." The tag reads: "An official in his office says it is for treatment for exhaustion."

Now the rest of the article seems to imply that this was a scheduled doctor visit, an unscheduled doctors visit, that it is for cardiac issues, it's not for cardiac issues, is for "exhaustion" (a matter best treated by sleeping at home), is a private visit but may conduct State business. (He probably shouldn't do that if it's treatment for "exhaustion".)

I don't know what contribution MSNBC may have made to that hash, though it seems the Iraqis have done it all by themselves.
