I don't know if this has been brought to anyone's attention yet, but in a quick search of the authenticated Reuters photographs attributed to Adnan Hajj, I found the following two.
One is from July 24 of a bombed out area in Beirut, with a clearly identifiable building in a prominent part of the shot.
The second is of the exact same area, same buildings, same condition, with a woman walking past "a building flattened during an overnight Israeli air raid on Beirut's suburbs August 5, 2006."
JOHN adds: Another example of the same phenomenon--not an identical photo, but two photos of the same woman, obviously taken at more or less the same time but published two weeks apart--in each case with a caption saying that she had lost her house to an Israeli bomb the night before!

Even with such small pictures its obvious that the clone-rubber stamp tool has been very amaturishly applied.

Thank God for Powerline, who is working hard to expose the dishonesty of News Organizations.

Re: Reuters: Is this not a THIRD?
The ?third-doctored picture was by the same notorious "photographer"
and has the same distinctive smoke pattern. Does it not?

Interesting...a lot of the photos have become red 'x's.
I wonder if the source yanked them, suspecting they were being dissected?
If so, good show!

Even with such small pictures its obvious that the clone-rubber stamp tool has been very amaturishly applied. I don't see an obvious usage of clone tool in these images. According to the article, the problem is the July 24th and August 5th dates in the captions.

There are likely dozens of fake pictures staged for the willing media.
It is only a matter of time until we find them...8-)
Just like Dan Rather who wanted fake, but accurate stuff.

Of course. The Muzzies are so civilized, and their economy is so strong, that they can rebuild multi-story buildings in 2 weeks or less.
If you don't believe me then you are a hateful racist.

The old media is now getting caught by us !
It is much harder for them to get altered stuff to stay a secret with us around.
Which is why they hate us so much.

Look at these two staged images of the same woman. Now look at the woman in post #2.
Is that Mrs. Green Helmet? She sure has nice hands.

What's the deal about this? The shot taken 24 Jul was clearly taken from the fifth floor of some building. The second shot taken 5 Aug couldn't be taken from that vantage point, because of the overnight airstrike and the building the photographer was in on 24 Jul was reduced to rubble.
In the first shot, there are a bunch of people in the streets, in the second shot there's only one. Israeli's are killing all the civilians. Its genocide I tell ya! Genocide!
I don't see a problem here, where's the problem? Its not like Tourist Guy is in the shot anywhere. Wait a minute!. That's not some Muslim woman, that's Tourist Guy in drag!. Woah! ANOTHER faked shot!

So, this building was claimed to be flattened two months in a row? Restored to its original condition and flattened again? Man is their insurance company gonna be pissed! :0)

Question for all your wonderful FReepers:
Is this the same photographer that made the front page of the New York Times?
