U.S. Forces Hold 70 Percent of Fallujah
By EDWARD HARRIS, Associated Press Writer
FALLUJAH, Iraq - U.S. forces bottled up insurgents in a narrow strip of Fallujah on Wednesday after a stunningly swift advance that seized control of 70 percent of the militant stronghold. Kidnappers abducted two members of Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's family in Baghdad.
THat's the first paragraph of an AP story. How did the word "stunningly" make it into the opening line of an AP news story? What does that mean? How fast is "swift"? I thought the news was supposed to just tell us what happened in an objective manner.
