Suit Alleging News Service Violated Privacy By Publishing Photos Is Dropped
Four Navy SEALs and the wife of a SEAL who sued The Associated Press over photos showing the servicemen posing with Iraqi prisoners have agreed to drop all claims and not appeal a decision by a federal judge in favor of the news organization. Last month, a judge in San Diego dismissed all four counts of the lawsuit and concluded that the claims that the news organization violated privacy and copyright laws by publishing the photos lacked merit.
