Why not make the Subject the same as the article "Orange Code Terror Alert based on Fabricated Intelligence" and then provide a few paragraphs to give a flavor of what the article is about:

It is now official: the stand down orders on Air France's Christmas flights from Paris to Los Angeles were based on fabricated information. The latter was used to justify Code Orange Alert during the Christmas holiday.

Prime Minister Raffarin had ordered the cancellation of the Christmas flights following pressures from Washington .

3. and the first DU link - was with a very interesting story.
Take the other poster's comments as constructive suggestions for future links ... not a sign not to bring such items to DU for exposure and discussion.

Thanks for the story. :D
