In another view, we see some strong resemblances to the GHG (Green Helmet Guy) photos in Lebanon. Notice that the child's body is dirty and rubble covered, but the skin tone looks to be that of a corpse. Compare to the very clean skin of his "rescuer" who is holding him aloft. And notice how crisply clean the rescuer's nice white shirt is for being down in a rubble covered hole, scrabbling for bodies.

And note that neither of the two "rescuers" in this picture seem to have a hair out of place or a spec of the light colored dirt/dust in their black hair. My, I didn't realize how scrupulously clean those Shiite-heads were.

Supposedly, this child was still alive, as the caption states that he died later at the hospital. If he was actually alive when the picture was taken, I doubt the skin tone would be so deathly pallid. Maybe so, but I seem to remember GHG and descriptions of his refrigerated truck that seemed to arrive at every dead child's "rescue" from the rubble, and some stated that his refrigerated truck was used to bring bodies to the scene, not take them away. [sarc]But that couldn't be happening here, of course [/sarc]

I don't doubt that a child who is mortally wounded and in shock would have lost a lot of skin color, but notice there is no evidence of blood anywhere on the child. If he has been buried in the rubble, I would think that there would be a little bit of blood somewhere on the body. Couple that with the pallor of a corpse and who ya gonna believe- the AP or your lyin' eyes?

Look at the kid in post 22 and post 25. It looks like they could be twins. Even the sandals look the same. Further, the kid in the coffin is wearing clean street clothes. Only martyrs are buried in the clothes they died in and if the consider him a martyr, he would still be further wrapped in a white cloth.

I”n preparation for burial, the family or other members of the community will wash and shroud the body. (If the deceased was killed as a martyr, this step is not performed; martyrs are buried in the clothes they died in.) The deceased will be washed respectfully, with clean and scented water, in a manner similar to how Muslims make ablutions for prayer. The body will then be wrapped in sheets of clean, white cloth (called the kafan).”
