Take this headline from Yahoo! News: U.S., Iraqi troops clash in Baghdad
Makes it sound like American and Iraqi troops are fighting each other, doesn't it? Nope. As usual US and Iraqi forces are fighting against insurgents side by side. The story was written by Kim Gamel of the Associated Press, but the funny thing is that she probably didn't write the title. That work is usually farmed out to others (like Dawn Eden) who are trying to make the piece catchy in five words or less. This time perhaps six words was too few because they left out an important object to "clash."
