Shameful AP misrepresentation, or, Torture Pt. 1

Yahoo news says, printing an article By Deb Riechmann, Associated Press Writer :

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the nation's ability to lead the world depends on its morality, not military might. "We will begin to reassert that moral authority by attempting to override the president's veto next week," said Pelosi, D-Calif.

Actual quote:

In the final analysis, our ability to lead the world will depend not only on our military might, but also on our moral authority.

Emphasis added by me.

There is a difference, and when I originally read the misrepresentation, my head almost exploded. It was bad enough that I had to go to Speaker Nancy Pelosi's blog just to confirm it.
