The thing is though, to be fair to the AP, the photo is from 1998 - and that is stated in the caption. The caption should have been reworded, but keep in mind that if Michelle Malkin or others had read that caption in April 1998, then no one would have bothered pointing out this flaw. The caption was probably trying to effect a past-time contextual reference, which of course appears naively anachronistic in the present.
The photo is dated, the commentary shouldn't have been. The whole thing was published in 2006 and the facts we know to be true today are relevant and should have been stated in the caption. The caption wasn't a past-time contextual reference, IMNSHO; that gives the MSM more credit for historical scholarship than they deserve. It was PC buffoonery and an attempt at moral relativism, which the left and the MSM are so fond of.
IMNSHO.
