Cool they hand out free loaded ammo, otherwise she’s got herself a Dillan press and rolls her own..

I called the photo desk in AFP's DC office. One of the women I talked to just pulled it up and she sounded embarassed.

As I started to explain that it was an unfired round, she said, "I know what an unfired round looks like, I was in the military."

I didn't have the heart to ask her, "Our side?"

I think they're going to make an issue out of this one with the folks that put it out on the wire.

I too don’t know jack about guns but it took me about a fifth of a second to know what was wrong with that picture.

Yeah, Wylie Coyote has been trying to get a hold of the ARB’s from ACME to get the roadrunner. Guess our boys are using them in Iraq.

Here's links to the same photo posted twice via Yahoo News.

Let's see if AFP is professional.

Those must be “magic” bullets. Perhaps a variation of the one that was found on a stretcher that November day in Dallas 44 years ago.

I’m not an expert but just wondering — when a bullet hits something — like the side of her house — isn’t it supposed to look a bit battered? Like, maybe it hit something?

Uhm, that looks like unfired rounds to me. How did those hit her house?

Priceless!

The photo credit is attributed to Wissam al-Okaili. Time to do a little bit of research to see what other "fake-but-accurate" photos have come from that (in-)credible source...
