46. Morons. Should've sued on the basis of falsification, not confidentiality
This is a prime example of a frivolous lawsuit.

If they made the claim that the photos were fraudulent or doctored or even some kind of effects/propaganda gimmick, that would at least give them a claim to malicious irreparable harm by the AP. As it is, they have NO case, and any responsible attorney would have told 'em so right out of the gate.
