Take a close look at the above photo. (Pay close attention to his shorts, his dustless chest, muscular torso, the dust on his hands, and the hat tucked in the crook of his arm.) You've probably seen the image before. It was part of a NYTimes photo essay series published online here. It's an iconic image of Lebanese death at the hands of Israel--even described as the Lebanese pieta.

Snip

Only guess what? The body depicted "buried under the rubble" appears to have been up and walking in the photographer's photo series of the scene throughout the day as a rescuer, not a bombing victim.

The same man -- same face, same build, same naked upper body, same hat, same shorts -- who begins the day as a rescuer picking through the rubble ends it as another victim among the wreckage.

How about a sidebar or top bar link for this topic.

Fauxtography

The slimes seem to be working overtime on agitprop. We need to stay vigilant on this!

The US News one is clear.

The NYT one is not clear according to Ace of Spades this is the caption that ran with the photo:

TYRE, LEBANON. Wednesday, July 26, 2006: After an Israeli airstrike destroyed two buildings in downtown Tyre, Lebanon, one man helped another who had fallen and was hurt. As people searched through the burning remains, aircraft again could be heard overhead, panicking the people that a second strike was coming.

weegee said it best:

"I DO try to exercise some restraint in this area, I know there are a lot of threads and PINGs lately.

These are different pictures. Posed. NY Times, US News & World Report.

One by Adnan Hajj, the other by Tyler Hicks."

I'm thinking "Lebanese Pieta" a better moniker...

Look at the smile on the poofer in the white t-shirt's face.
