Have those links gone dead?

[showme_the_Glory]

In a word, redhanded.

[antiRepublicrat]

I thought it was two so far.

I said one more. But I was wrong, they didn't find it.

[gophergas]

Weren't there other photogs who showed pics of Green Helmet Guy?

Aren't all of THEIR photos now suspect as well?

[Smokin' Joe]

Breaking: Former Reuters photographer Adnan Hajj has been hired by Cindy Sheehan to cover her '06 "coffin dance" tour. Hajj will bring his own collection of servered limbs and a box of Lebanese rocks./s/

It don't mean nothin' if they haven't booked Green Helmet Guy for the opening act.

[GunnyBob]

I wonder. We shall see.

[gcruse]

Show me what part of my statement is inaccurate

Inaccurate? This unsupportable dreck goes beyond inaccurate.

They know darn well that he has doctored all [920] of them in some fashion.

But this? This is insane.

Israeli's need to take out the reporters/photographers in order to win this war.

And by splattering your sickness on threads all over the forum, you create the impression that Freepers are generally this nuts. It's the pride you seem to take in it that passes me by, though.

(had altered two images)

had altered at least two images

there now, I fixed it for them.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Hajj was not in Beirut on Monday and was not responding to calls. He told Reuters on Sunday that the image of the Israeli air strike on Beirut had dust marks which he had wanted to remove.

Oh yes.... so he just covers up the "dust marks" with extra smoke (and mirrors?!!).

[ChadGore]

Why not just print the truth? It's free!

[Allegra]

But pictures of staged events are still acceptable.

Twisting and distorting the facts to the point of fiction and taking people's comments completely out of context to suit their agenda are still OK, too.

[dirtboy]

There is no power in reporting the truth.

[Doc91678]

No problem. He'll go to work for CNN.

[gcruse]

Israel should kill the reporters and photogs covering the war?

You don't have to be a know-it-all to see how crazy that is.

[PajamaTruthMafia]

Ping! In case you haven't seen this yet. They pulled all his photos...

[freeangel]

"when they remove"

Too late, the damage has been done--of course that is what rooters intended all along. If they were serious, the senior staffers would be gone too.

[weegee]

Wouldn't be the first time a trained camera pool all deliberately misrepresented an event.

Ocassionally you will see one photograph of all the photographers exploiting a "tragedy".

[Arrowhead1952]

"There is no graver breach of Reuters standards for our photographers than the deliberate manipulation of an image," Szlukovenyi said in a statement.
