More Media Manipulation The Unluckiest Beirut Woman?
I can't get over the photoshopping of the smoke. They didn't even do a good job...

The Reuters caption reads: "Journalists are shown by a Hizbollah guerrilla group the damage caused by Israeli attacks on a Hizbollah stronghold in southern Beirut, July 24 2006. (Adnan Hajj/Reuters)"
The Reuters caption reads: "A Lebanese woman looks at the sky as she walks past a building flattened during an overnight Israeli air raid on Beirut's suburbs August 5, 2006. (Adnan Hajj/Reuters)"
How many homes does she have?? And the same clothes?
looter guy, green helmet guy, tee-shirt guy and now, introducing to the masses, VEIL WOMAN...
I didn't notice that. Had the show on in the background and just heard enough to check it out quick.
oh the same home was rebuilt in a few days and bombed again
well, she must be one of the rich ones that have 12 homes, one for each month of the year..only 9 more to go..:)
DING DING DING! You get the prize for the new name :) VEIL WOMAN
Veil Woman is a Great Name!
The Hajj trail and issues with Beirut Photos.
As best I can tell, it started with the folks at EU Referendum and israelinsider questioning the Qana photos (this was picked up by Rush and others last week) Here are the most relevant posts at israelinsider and EU Referendum.

Oh, this is just "Scarface Lady" again. What I want to know is, when will "Green Helmet Guy" and "Scarface Lady" appear together in their own Sitcom? (On CNN, most likely)
Sounds more like the WB to me ;)
She and Looter Guy really get around!
hehe...first thing that came to mind..:-)
Sounds more like the WB to me ;)
Don't go too hard on them. The enemies of free people can't all be placed in mental facilities.
