I use Firefox with image zoom, once I blow it up to 400% the manipulated pixels appear as square blocks five times bigger then the other pixels around them.
The area around the guy in the hat has some fine detail work done to it as if they paid special attention to getting smoke around him right.

There is no question that this is faked. It is obvious to me from the first moment I saw if, for the same reason that it was obvious that the TANG memo was also a fake -- personal experience.
Anyone who was alive in 1977 and using a typewriter and who was also alive in 2004 and using a word processor, knew that the TANG memo could not have been typed in 1977. It was just not possible to match the spacing, kerning, font, etc. as LGF so easily demonstrated.
This is the same thing. I've been using the clone tool for years, always trying to minimize the repeating pattern effect that's seen in this photo. I could have done the job a lot better, too.
No quesion about it -- the photo was manipulated with more smoke being added.
And you know what? It won't make a bit of difference to anyone in the MSM.

Agreed. I use clone a lot. It has been manipulated.

"Reuters is an Arab owned news service, no?"
I'm not sure. Guessing ... I don't think they are ... but you'd think they were by how they report news.

So, it's preatty clear that both photos are fake jobs, eh? I wondered. The smoke in the second one looked a lot like that from the first one.

Oops, should have read the fine print below the photo:
"Reuters shall not be liable for any errors or delays in the content, or for any actions taken in reliance thereon."
I guess that means they can make up whatever they want! Now it all makes sense.

The man in the hat has a halo of fine pixels around him, like he has been implanted into the picture.
