In this first of the two sequences, we see a shot by Reuters and taken by Adnan Hajj, timed at 2:21 pm. It has the caption:

After all, the Hajj pictures were doctored, it seems, in such an amateurish way that Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs, who has been at war with Reuter’s for some time, was only one of several people to notice this at once. Any experienced editor ought to have done so and vetoed the pictures, preferably starting an internal enquiry.

Given the long-standing accusations about Reuter’s bias in the Middle East, we hope that a general sorting out will take place.

I hope so too, however I'm not holding my breath.

Thanks for posting (although, I can't see all the photos)

Is this new? I'm having trouble keeping up with all the doctored photos coming out, lol.

We may so hope, but my guess is that it will take the firing of more than only one photographer to clear out the propagandists. Frankly I suspect that Reuters won't even miss a beat in this relentless drum show.

The sorting out is going to be much harder since Reuters has "deleted" the 920 photos he had sold them.

Reuters wants to bury this misdeed, not make amends for it.

The Hajj trail

As best I can tell, it started with the folks at EU Referendum questioning the Qana photos (this was picked up by Rush and others last week) Here are the most relevant posts at EU Referendum. "Qana the directors cut" and The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" sort of sum it all up IMHO (see below)

Doctored photos

Little Green Footballs uncovered an obviously doctored photo by Hajj
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=21956_Reuters_Doctoring_Photos_from_Beirut&only

It was quickly picked up here on FR
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1678470/posts

Reuters admitted the first photo (Beirut smoke) was doctored and suspended Hajj
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1678852/posts

A second doctored photo (F16) was identified by Jawa
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1678950/posts

Reuters admitted the second photo was also doctored, fired Hajj and withdrew all 920 of his photographs at Reuters

Not everybody was on the computer this weekend when the story broke.

And since the search engines are blocking and redirecting, it is good to get this out on a Monday RSS feed.

Not to pick nits, but I believe the first site to question whethere the Qana photos were staged was here:

israelinsider: diplomacy: Hezbollywood? Evidence mounts that Qana collapse and deaths were staged
http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Diplomacy/8997.htm

And it was picked up very early on here:

The girls arm seems to hang strangely for someone dead with or without rigor mortis.
