El Mundo Today reports that Jacques Vitelle, a Frenchman captured seven months ago in Colombia by FARC guerillas was released yesterday. However, in an hilarious mix-up the photo they have chosen for the story is a) of Olivier Cousin – a well-known producer in Anjou and b) it is my photo and it has been used without my permission and without credit. I will be sending a bill to El Mundo.

El Mundo Today updated the story during the afternoon. I assume the photo is now the real Jacques Vitelle, who had the misfortune to be kidnapped by FARC in southern Columbia.
I have to wonder how El Mundo Today got the photo of Olivier Cousin mixed up and thought it was Jacques Vitelle. I haven't given anyone a copy of my photo of Olivier, so it must have been downloaded from my Jim's Loire blog. Was this done by El Mundo Today or did they obtain it from a 'photo library'?
