Fairey Amends Obama Suit Papers

I'm not sure this is really a comics story although the famous image at the center of the story has cartoon elements to it and certainly much of the artist Shepard Fairey's work has such elements. Anyway, Editor & Publisher has a lengthy update and further links about Fairey copping to altering some potential evidence, asserting that another AP photos was the basis of the image and admitting that his lawyers wanted out. What's strange is that I always thought his original claim, that the image as used was drastically altered to the point of becoming its own thing was a strong enough stance with which to go into any of the related legal battle.
