In an article today about the launch of Turkish air strikes in Iraq against Kurdish positions, MSNBC notes that “Ankara also demands release of PKK prisoners held by Baghdad.”

Except that’s not quite accurate. The Turkish government is demanding the extradition of prisoners belonging to the pro-Kurd PKK party to Turkey, not the release of those prisoners.

Bit of a difference there.
