Received this morning, following our post about the AP photo of Pakistani Islamists burning a Danish flag, with a caption labeling them “human rights activists.”
The following caption correction moved on the AP wire at 2:14 a.m., referring to a photo that appeared on your site.
Thank you,
Paul Colford AP Director of Media Relations—————

I don’t know what the “Al Fareed Welfare Society” is (and Google has nothing), but thumbs-up to the Associated Press for correcting that ludicrous description, at least.
