The Raw Story | Associated Press says they based article on Raw Story report but refuses to credit or correct:
"The Associated Press has confirmed using a Raw Story report as the basis for a Mar. 14 article detailing a change to national security clearance policies but has refused to issue credit for the piece.
Their article, 'Security Clearance Rules May Impede Gays,' signaled an apparent Bush Administration attempt to tighten security clearances with regard to gay Americans. It attributed the discovery of the clearance changes to gay rights groups – a factually inaccurate statement which the agency has refused to correct. The discovery was made by Larisa Alexandrovna, Raw Story's Managing News Editor, and John Byrne, Raw Story's Executive Editor.
Raw Story picked the wording out of an extended document released in December. AP ran a story the following day, highlighting the same item and using similar language."
