I knew what he was doing when I first saw that photo. There was no way his fingers just happened to be crossed like that!!

However, I can't believe he needs to post singles ads--he is adorable!!

Truth or Fiction and Snopes have both called it real.

I understand that and as I said, I am not an imaging expert. However, I copied the jpg picture file and then opened in Jasc Paint Shop Pro. I am repeating these same steps as I type this. The file is quite small, 34 KB, and lacking in detail. I open the file and set the view for normal 1:1 viewing. I then crop the image to approximately the area covered by the red circle. I then select the zoom function and place the cursor center in the middle of the red circle. I then select "zoom in by 5". What immediately becomes obvious is a perfectly straight horizontal line running across and including the red circle. A line this straight does not occur in nature. I have no way of knowing the editing that took place but I am convinced that the file has been edited.

You, of course, are welcome to draw your own conclusions by examining the file in a way that is suitable to you.

Yep. Hecuva good looking guy. And I'm surrounded by them all day. Too bad I'm an old lady.

Look closely and think about how you shake hands. He made SURE that that left had was in the photograph. Hillary, you got out "slyed" by a good old GI.

I thought the same thing. Normally, his hand would have been down by his side. That would have been too low for the shot. He knew it.

Try zooming in on a different area of the photo, for instance his face. You'll also see horizontal and vertical lines. They are artifacts of the JPEG compression.

Thank you. I did try what you suggested and I did indeed see what you said I would see. Now, let me ask you to compare that to the line I observed in the red circle and its interior. Was this due to compression or editing?

You can bet you house on that!
