It is a fact that Reuters used photoshop to enhance the picture in order to make the writing legible.

Yes, indeed. But it is also a fact, despite what loads of FreeRepublic conspiracy theorists would have liked to believe, that the content of the note is genuine. Not 'fake but accurate', but 'photoshop enhanced, but real and accurate.'

No, it's the fact that Reuters even considered it newsworthy in the first place.

The use of photoshop is bad journalism practice and akin to fraud. This is another example of Bush being too much of a gentleman: He pissed in the UN rather than on it as he should have.
