Do you renounce ...?
Quick, who's doing what and where?
It's not an ungrammatical or illogical hed; it's entirely within the realm of possibility that someone could renounce the release of a terrorist. But over a lede like:
The U.S. Senate unanimously condemned last month’s release of the Libyan terrorist convicted in Pan Am bombing over LockerÂbie, Scotland, in 1988 and called upon Libya to apologize for celebrating his return.
... you'd have to say it's about as thoroughly boneheaded a single-letter mistake as you can make. Renounce your evil ways and return to the stylebook.
Moral: If you don't know what a word means, look it up. If you think you know what a word means, look it up twice.
