As long as it's not about violence in Iraq, the AP is willing to issue corrections, and in big letters.

Says the "new" caption:

Fernando Araujo escaped from six years in rebel captivity by fleeing through the jungle for five days after troops attacked the guerrillas who held him, he said Friday.(AP Photo/Ricardo Maldonado)
