At least one of the photographs released today by Iran and published by an unquestioning Western media has been Photoshopped:

I’m not sure why, but this has to be good news for us, right? Why isn’t launching 4 missiles impressive enough?

Man! The “Fake But Accurate” thing has taken off world-wide. Is Dan Rather pimping himself out to foreign governments now?

The first thing I thought of this morning was someone did this to stop the fall in oil futures.

The 1st and 4th ones appear to be the same.

It seems to me that the two missiles on the right are leaving identical smoke plumes and possibly the one on the far left. Also the air around the missile second from the left looks lighter.

There could have been one launch, imaged by two or more cameras in different locations. Photoshop used to make it look like a coordinated precision launch, like ones we’ve done during testing of SDI.

Iran wants the world to think it’s got 9 operational missiles to spare for a “test”.
