Perhaps it's not an outrage, perhaps it's just a mystery. Maybe there's something we don't understand...
Take a look at the Washington Post article 16 Sadr Loyalists Killed in Assault. Look at the picture they are using, which is captioned, "Men and boys clear debris in Baghdad after a blast outside their house killed a woman and wounded two of her sisters, as well as a man who lived next door." (Hopefully they don't change the picture after this posting.) Are you able, with your reading, to see ANY relation between the story and the picture?

Now, look at the CNN story Suicide bomber kills 20 near Mosul. They use the same picture. In this article...

They changed it.

They do it because most people don't have a clue about what they are looking at, anyway!
Whathehell, if you spend bigbucks for pictures, you gotta use them for something!
Remember the photo from Damadola? It showed a 155mm or 152mm artillery projectile, and just depended on uninformed minds to jump to the desired conclusions. Seldom, if ever, do uninformed minds ever let them down.

Indeed I do.

They're sneaky. They know that most people only look at the pictures. If they can get an anti-American message out while doing this, why not? It suits their agenda.

That only seems to make two of us, no matter how we do the math!
If we can't get Freepers to wake up and pay attention, the time has come to stand with what we have.
You can't choose when you die, but, if you have a pair still hanging, you can damned sure choose how!
"Daddie Warbucks", the last damned thing you ever were, was a true "Republican"!
I call myself "Republican" because I choose to be ruled by Constitutional Law, or, not ruled by anything, at all!
