BINGO.

Also explains the merging into the ocean of the object
to Kerry's right (our left).

Gosh, could that mean Sen. Kerry or his supporters .... might lie?

Since this picture was taken before digital cameras, a negative has to exist somewhere, or at least an "original" print. Someone needs to provide one of the two.

What if Kerry's enemies doctored up the picture, if it is doctored? Could some of those strange artifacts simply be the result of a poor scan? Unless it can be traced back to Kerry's supporters, it is just a waste of time.

What bothers me is I finally found the two pictures under discussion on a Vets against Kerry site. They claim to have had other pictures up there that the Kerry campaign made them take down. If these two pictures came from them, why wouldn't they make them take them down, too?

We need to know the origin of the picture that may have been doctored. Nobody is questioning the other one.
