One photograph, which showed Ahmadinejad embracing Chazez’s grieving mother at Friday’s funeral, set off a firestorm back in Iran.

However, that image was quickly debunked as being badly Photoshopped — the other man in the picture was actually Egyptian opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei.

LOL! The Iranians really suck at Photochop. You'd think they'd get better over time.
