I think we all need to step back and take a deep breath. I'm a long-time lurker and this thread is just silly with the paranoid photo interpretations. "I see a UPS truck!" "With letters on it!" "That looks like the capitol dome!" "There are eyes in the flames!" FR is, at times, the Internet at its best. This thread may be the Internet at its silliest.

Folks... did you miss out on your geography classes in lower school? Some cannot recognize a picture of Mecca, don't know what the kabba looks like, mistake worshippers for buildings(!), and think a mosque is the US Capitol. And those "eyes" are letters in English reading "CORBIS." (Initially, I thought the pic read "BOOBIES," but I digress.)

Awful people are out to "get us," indeed, but there's no use in hand-wringing over hyperbole and bad photoshop pics likely created by some wannabe jihadi sitting in his dorm room somewhere.
