Do any of you remember, in the early days of the Iraq war, a soldier pointing his rifle at the ground while managing a whole group of Iraqi refugees? The photo was doctored to make it look like the soldier was pointing his rifle at the crowd and there were duplicate images of the crowd to make it look larger. I don't know which photo service released it (AP or Reuters) but FReepers found the deception.

A few years back, a Pulitzer was given back because a photo of a firefighter, taking a break from fighting California wildfires, was photographed dipping his head in a backyard pool and it was determined that the photo was staged.

I don't remember that but hope some FReeper can pull that story up.

It would be really interesting if it happened to be Reuters.
