Divided Papers Fail to Agree on Headline, Reporting

I had the occasion to read both the Washington Post and the New York Times today. Here are their articles reporting the same story. The headlines are from the print editions -- the on-line version in the Times has a slightly different headline now.

New York Times:
Nuclear Agency Votes to Report Iran to U.N. Security Council for Treaty Violations

VIENNA, Sept. 24 - Iran's showdown with the West over its nuclear ambitions entered a new, more volatile phase on Saturday, as the board of the International Atomic Energy Agency voted to report the country to the United Nations Security Council for violating its obligations under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.


Washington Post:
U.N. Body Cites Iran On Nuclear Program: Divided IAEA Board Fails to Agree on Referring Case to U.N. Security Council

VIENNA, Sept. 24 -- The board of the International Atomic Energy Agency passed a resolution Saturday saying that Iran violated its nuclear treaty obligations by secretly developing a nuclear program. But in a sign of deep division, the agency delayed reporting the matter to the U.N. Security Council, as required by statute.

They report, you decide?
