The Commie Rag, is at it again. Ops4 God Bless America!

[camle]

something about those people in the pic makes me think the whole thing is phony. shadows maybe?

[EagleUSA]

These anti-Amercian fools just continue to prove what criminals they are -- the useful idiots of the left --- where crime and lies are the order of the day.

[WakeUpAndVote]

Not only that but, the photo is about a year old. It was posted yesterday, Getty images or something.

Fake, and nowhere near accurate. Now there is a report that there were terrorist there, 4 were drug away to hide their identity.

---It also looks like it has a fuse in it, suggesting that the guys in the photo are either ditch-water dumb or have a death-wish."---

I'd go with "ditch-water dumb".

[Wasanother]

Future IED for terrorist was all it was that was pulled out of the house.

[MEG33]

It was "outed" here soon after the article appeared.

[Mike Darancette]

Freepers were on this in a second.

Assuming the NYT is being quoted correctly, they need to get some real editors on staff (the type of editors who can not only sniff out the and print the truth, but also, can spell).

[Plutarch]

But the MSM has standards, and editors, and Jounalism School graduates. How can this happen?

[popdonnelly]

Faulty intelligence at the Times?

[Mathews]

Looks like a 105MM or 5in. 54/Cal HE round.

[Grut]

Sloppy captioning but so long as the picture was actually taken in the village, not 'fake'. Of course, we have to trust the NYT that it was the village....

[Shery]

Where do you go to see the picture, anyway?

[elli1]

It was not the remains of a missile fired at a house...

What's more is that I don't think that the NYT/Getty photo was of 'a house' or 'the house' that was hit by the missle.

This is supposedly (according to CNN/AP) 'the house' struck by the missle. This photo is quite different from the NYT/ Getty image (which doesn't even appear to be 'a house'--no evidence of a roof or roof supports.)

Thread from the 14th

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

"The Times corrected the photo caption after Thomas Lifson, editor and publisher of The American Thinker brought attention to it."

Isn't the Times, just the best? And I'm sure the correction takes care of any unjustness that was initially done. They are such a moral, pro-American newspaper. They would never print anything that would harm the United States...

[Lancey Howard]

Huh..There was a freeper who posted that pic here a couple of days ago and said it was fake. And a few of us seemed to remember it from the old Afghan wedding bomb propaganda from a couple of years ago. But I can't find the thread now....

[Rocky]

Caught again!

[BigSkyFreeper]

The fact the NYT changed the caption doesn't change the fact that the photo itself is still fake.
