Turnaround?

Amazing Chi Trib story about victory in Iraq battle.  250 enemy dead!  Not a body-count story about our losses nor picture of grief-stricken survivors with story of how loved was the dead soldier.  A war story, that is, not the usual anti-war story.  What happened?!
 
However, do not be overly alarmed.  Liz Sly and editors managed to keep focus with this lede:
Two U.S. soldiers died Sunday when their helicopter crashed and about 250 insurgents were reported killed . . .
