Pretty much par for the course for the Islamofascists and their sympathizers...too much bravado, not enough brains...

How boring it must be for architecs to have to build the same building over and over again.... /s

Thanks to Algore's internet, photo journalists who stage scenes and photoshop images may soon be reigned in. They'll never end their evil ways, but perhaps the fear of being busted will slow them down.

Earlier, Charles Johnson, of the Little Green Footballs blog , which has exposed a previous attempt at fraud by a major American news corporation, wrote : "This Reuters photograph shows blatant evidence of manipulation. Notice the repeating patterns in the smoke; this is almost certainly caused by using the Photoshop “clone” tool to add more smoke to the image." ">

Johnson added: "Smoke simply does not contain repeating symmetrical patterns like this, and you can see the repetition in both plumes of smoke. There’s really no question about it."



A series of close ups are then posted on the blog, showing that "it’s not only the plumes of smoke that were 'enhanced.' There are also cloned buildings." The close ups do appear to show exact replicas of buildings appearing next to one another in the photograph.



The Sports Shooter web forum , used by professional photographers, also examined the photo, with many users concluding that the image has been doctored.

I always send the pertinent links via the "SEND NEWS TIPS TO DRUDGE" form when he's too slow to read it on Free Republic.

That's the frightening truth, isn't it?

Makes one wonder how routinely Reuters has been doing this and getting away with it.

The disturbing make believe photos from this disturbing make believe event are shown below. Don’t allow children under the age of 30 to view this horror caused by Israel. Of course, this is Bush's fault.

No Problem! Here comes your Bomb!
