Believe it or not, got tipped off to these photos from a thread at DU. I'll give credit where credit is due. Looks like CNN has stepped into it again. Opinions?

We must get the Security Council to act on that topic post haste. It's of great importance.

Even when you are on the CNN site, the label says "suspected site in North Korea", but when you hold the mouse over the image, it says "suspected site in Iran".
Duh...

I don't get the point here. Was there any doubt that both Iran and N Korea had nuclear power plants built or in the works? I mean, it's super common knowledge. Interesting photo, esp the Kournikova one. That must be the codename for the Korean Nuclear plans, right? Project Kournikova? ;)

I finally found the photo of the NK nuclear site by looking and finding the images link on the right, but where'd the Iran photo come from? Link? The source of a photo on the web can be found by "right-clicking" on a photo.
The source of the "Nort Korean reactor" photo was :.......http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/02/12/nkorea.nukes.ap/story.suspected.site.iran.jpg.
The source of the "Iranian reactor" photo was :.......http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2005/WORLD/meast/02/09/kay.iran/story.suspected.site.iran.2.jpg
It seems that CNN used the same stock photo of the "suspected site Iran" for both it's North Korean and Iranian reactor stories.
The practice would fall under the "fake but true" category.
