Note the apparent 'baggie' in the third photo (last hand on the right). Also, Green Helmet does not have gloves on (can't manipulate pacifier lanyards with the darned gloves on?)

Green Helmet's hand appears to be holding something besides the kid's arm--probably the pacifier, keeping it free of dirt. It is just another prop, late to the show.

It's all over the blogosphere, so Rush prolly has it already. Bet Johnson (LGF) is getting booked by FOX, CNN & CNBC for their yack-attack shows.

Beats me why a photographer or editor would risk his job over that, or how anyone that inept could have gotten the gig in the first place.

The artists monitor gamma was set wrong. He happily worked the image thinking it looked great. He never checked it. When viewed on another/other monitor(s) well, it's pretty obvious.

More incisive than you intended

How do you know that? The left one is a real 'pinko' and the far right one is brown to me, shoulda made him blue.

LOL!

This picture always cracked me up.
Israeli women and children were being murdered wholesale in buses, in their beds, in restaurants, and the MSM photographers by the dozens are snapping away at Bruce Achmed Mohammed!

GoLightly: "Any mention of the Reuter's employee/non-employee death threat?"

Not that I could find, but I am glad you had me take a dip in the pool there. [Where are my Clorox wipes?]. Some there are suggesting fabulous refinements to our current foreign policy in Iraq:

"Call me crazy but...put Saddam back in power... I've heard it before from a democratic congressman on 60minutes or NPR, but seriously I think its the only sure fire way to deal a blow to Islamofascism going on in Iraq. Saddam is a CRAZY MURDEROUS BASTARD, but he's a secular murderous bastard which brings him closer to being on our side. "

Or Livia.

Yep. "I Claudius," was such a good series , that I've read the two books upon which it was based at least three times.

Are pictures 1 and 3 supposed to be the same kid in the same place?

Dunno. I think so.

I just finished sending out three stories to my email list. First how Charles Johnson identified the photo as doctored, second how alReuters admitted it was faked and third about the jihadi wannabe Reuters employee who threatened Charles.

A TRIFECTA!!!

"The GIF you posted as evidence that the photo was doctored to make it more lurid did not compare the doctored August 5 photo to the undoctored one-- it compared the doctored photo a completely different one from July 26" ,P.I know nobody's posting to this thread anymore, but it needs to be said that, without deconstructing the "original" in Photoshop, it just looks like a better doctored photo than the "faked" version. Yes I have Photoshop and can deconstruct it and make it smokier and more realistic, and I'm but an amateur, Now my oldest daughter could out a realistic mushroom cloud looming on the "original" and make it look more realistic than either the "fake" or the "original".

It just needed to be said. For the record.

Wow... thanks for the old picture and caption... It shows that some organizations already hated the US from long... And that is before they're bought by the Arabs...

Wow.
I had never seen that before.

Nor was I aware that Reuters was Arab-owned. But that does not surprise me.
Going from Kremlin-owned to Arab owned would be a transparent change.

I had no idea...

Good job, prairie! Otherwise, all too many people won't know about this.
