Reuters Admits, Pulls Doctored Photos
fragmentate points to a post on PopPhoto which says "Reuters pulled a photograph of burning buildings in Beirut yesterday after a post on the Little Green Footballs blog outed it as digitally manipulated. The photo, filed on Saturday by freelance photographer Adnan Hajj, ran with the caption "Smoke billows from burning buildings destroyed during an overnight Israeli air raid on Beirut's suburbs."
Fragmentate adds "Another image from the same photographer was found to have been doctored.
Whether you're a CNN fan, or a FoxNEWS fan, you have to wonder how much of what we see is fake, or exaggerated."
...In my books is a worse crime than bombing buildings and/or killing families. priorities people.
God was my co-pilot, but then we crashed and I was forced to eat him.
"You can't say that civilian areas are legit military targets because a soldier may be in the area."
Correct, and by the same logic you cannot say a village, apartment block, ambulance, airport, mobile phone tower,...is a military target because a "terrorist" may be in the area or may use the infrastructure. Both sides are guilty of horrendous actions and the sooner the US acknowlages this fact the sooner we can stop this "war on terror" nonesense.
