Yes great recap. Here's a decent roundup I've been keeping:

The Reutergate scandal and issues with Beirut Photos in general.

There are 2 areas of concern: 1) Staging of photos and; 2) Doctoring of photos. Links are in chronological order.

RECAPS:

Excellent Video recap by aish.com

Excellent Video recap by Michelle Malkin

CNN's Anderson Copper Admits to seeing staging plus Germany TV video catches Green Helmet in the Act

ISSUE 1, STAGING OF PHOTOS:

"Milking it" (Critical look at Qana photos)

"Hezbollywood? Evidence mounts that Qana collapse and deaths were staged"

"Qana - the director's cut"

"Reuters calls the doctor, take 2" (Powerline blog exposes yet another suspect group of photos same damage reported as new 12 days apart).

"Extreme Makeover - Beirut Edition" (Drinking from Home exposed more photos. This time, the same woman is shown losing her home first in Southern Beirut on 7/22 and then in the "suburbs of Beirut" on 8/5)

"Shaking the Dead" (Confederate Yankee shows staged photos of a "rescue worker" grasping a hand protruding from the rubble for both Reuters and AP)

"The Passion of the Toys" (Slublog has a collection of all the posed stuffed animals among the ruble)

"Lights, Camera, Action!" Red Cross workers pose for fauxtos

Green Helmet the movie director [Germany's NDR busts him in the act]

ISSUE 2, DOCTORING OF PHOTOS

Little Green Footballs uncovered an obviously doctored photo by Hajj (Beirut Smoke)

It was quickly picked up here on FR

Reuters admits the first photo (Beirut smoke) was doctored and suspended Hajj

A second doctored photo (F16) was identified by Jawa

Reuters admits the second photo was also doctored, fired Hajj and withdrew all 920 of his photographs

That photo with the smoke is so incredibly obvious I don`t see how anyone could miss it. But Reuters initially used it didn`t they? That says a lot about them.
