The news wire services are circling the wagons around their propaganda photos from Qana: News agencies stand by Lebanon photos.

If the wire services truly want to settle the timing issue, all they need to do is release the actual timestamps from when the photographs were taken. Digital cameras automatically record this information in the photograph itself, so it would be a simple matter for the wires to provide it.
Will they? Or are we simply supposed to take their word for it?
UPDATE at 8/1/06 4:30:31 pm:
For me, by the way, the timing issue is actually not the most damning thing about the photos, or the thing that most convinces me they were staged. It’s appallingly clear when you examine all the photos that children’s bodies were posed deliberately for photo ops, and that the Green Helmet Guy was doing this for quite a long time, in several different locations often with the same body.

Not to mention a brand new looking pacifer with no dust on it, on one little boy.
Not only that, but all of the photographs taken need to be disclosed, in the order that they were shot. What important things may have been left on the "editing room floor"?
Oops, "pacifier"....
bttt
Thanks!
" Digital cameras automatically record this".
Have you seen this?
It must be on heck of a firestorm for the newshouses to respond to the allegations of pic fakery...
makes one wonder, that's fer sure.
Shenanigans in the old media.
another "Rathergate"!
Folks have been staging wartime photographs for as long as there have been wartime photographs. See "Brady, Matthew" for example. He, at least, had the bad excuse of bulky cameras, expensive and fragile media, and long exposures. Still, there's nothing at all new about it.
I'm SHOCKED! But then I am so easily shocked.
Keep the heat on the media for their treasonous lying and willing participation in terrorist propaganda. IMO, the MSM are traitors of the worst kind; call them useful idiots!
Remember when CNN was in bed with Sadaam ?
The MSM are not only traitors...
There needs to be a media blackout yesterday on what's going on over there. Israel needs to say to these blowhards - HEY - IF YOU'RE NOT WITH US YOU'RE AGAINST US!
However, there is a vast difference between simply "staging" photos and "faking" photos. When one manufactures an event, photographs it, then passes it off as an actual even in the name of propaganda for purposes of advancing the cause of the enemy, then one crosses the line from "staging" to "faking".
I don't understand why the Media doesn't just use PhotoShop and post it to Fark.com. At least they'd have more credibility that way...
