I remember the first time I thought.......fake photo........it was in the rubble of a bombed building in Afghanistn. There was the teddy bear sitting on top of the rubble.

Uh oh, that's not right!

At this point I don't believe a single fauxtograph appearing in any publication.

From an earlier questionable photo- That pacifier and blue plastic chain hanging around that dead child's neck brought out of that rubble was also CLEAN AS A WHISTLE, while the child was very dirty.

Here's another one:

Notice how dust resistant these toys are? Does anyone own a patent on that material?

"The pink doll is being REMOVED from the suitcase. Doll body position tells all."

That's not at all certain.

In fact, the more I look at it, the more it looks like the guy was upstage (close to the building) picked up MM and took it and the pink doll to his suitcase to then carry it away.

If you look at the background in the shots, this seems to be supported.

The whole thing could still have been staged. But I don't think they are quite that clumsy.

I think there is a tendency now to get a little carried away with analyzing these things.

Wow, those clean toys must have been magically shrinkwrapped before the explosion and the toys managed to remove the plastic wrap themselves!

Notice how clean the little balls are. Again this dust repellant material is amazing!

So the AP and another Reuters photographer have been caught red-handed issuing propoganda for terrorists.

"Sharif and Mohamed seemed like such honest muslims. We certainly couldn't employ Buddhists in Lebanon."

"Reuters" sucks, bump!

FWIW, I blew up the picture slightly and I believe that I can see the red bow on Minnie's ears under the doll in the suitcase.

This man just escaped that demolished building and notice how dust free his black t-shirt is? Boy someone needs to find out where I can get some of that material!

What I find amazing is that this is nothing new. The MSM has known this type of thing has been going on for years and has not seen fit to raise a stink about it until the blogosphere caught them with their pants down.

That's what I find shocking... they've known all along and never cared...

The third photo is the original post at the top is from there.
