They were copying verbatim from the ethics guidlines. AP is such a slimeball organization that I wouldn't put it past them to deliberately switch words, but since they've stopped calling the accuser a dancer and started calling her a stripper, it gives me mental whiplash to think they'd doctor publicly available guidelines deliberately to make them the opposite of what they are and insinuate Nifong insulted the accuser. I'm still thinking innocent mistake.
AP? Probably an ignorant mistake.
