Charles Johnson over at Little Green Footballs has identified a rather interesting phenomenon at Yahoo this morning.

One hour and 52 minutes ago, the headline was:

Most U.S. Muslims reject suicide bombings.

Thirty-five minutes ago, the same story was re-released:

UPDATE at 5/22/07 11:32:57 am:

The latest version:

Some young US Muslims OK suicide attacks.

How delicious.
