Whore Fingers Associated Press...

...for wrongful use of her image.

From the Associated Press (lol):
NEW YORK - The lawyer for the call girl linked to the downfall of Gov. Eliot Spitzer lashed out at the media on Friday for thrusting the 22-year-old woman into the "public glare" without her consent and publishing revealing photos...

...Other media outlets, including The New York Times and The Associated Press, published other images that were from Dupre's MySpace page. The AP distributed three of those images, in one of which she is wearing a bikini, and issued a disclaimer authorizing the use of the photos only with reports or commentary on the Spitzer scandal. The photos were also restricted from commercial sale.
Is this the very same Associated Press that had their gigantic legal department viciously threaten blogger Brian Ledbetter to the point where he felt he had to remove all photos from his blog Snapped Shot?

Thanks to Jules Crittenden, who has more.
