A.P. QUIETLY EDITS HOLOCAUST DENIAL ARTICLE

AP Quietly Edits Pro-Ahmadinejad Article (LGF)
That article about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by Associated Press writer Nahal Toosi [LGF] pointed out yesterday, with the outrageous wording about “defending the right to cast doubt on the Holocaust,” has been quietly rewritten today: Ahmadinejad questions 9/11, Holocaust.

Here’s the original lead paragraph:

NEW YORK - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad questioned the official version of the Sept. 11 attacks and defended the right to cast doubt on the Holocaust in a tense appearance at Columbia University, whose president accused the hard-line leader of behaving like “a petty and cruel dictator.”

Here it is now, after an editor noticed that the pro-Ahmadinejad slant was a little too blatant:

NEW YORK - Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defended Holocaust deniers and raised questions about who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks in a tense showdown Monday at Columbia University where the school’s head introduced the visitor by calling him a “petty and cruel dictator.”

This is how they do it, folks. The first version has already been disseminated around the world, of course.
