Newsmax got the photo from Free Republic. I believe it was Hillarys Lovely Legs who found it at Corbis and posted it. Too bad someone else gets the credit.
Newsmax also mis-credited the mock letter from Saddam Hussein as a victim of Bush's policies. That letter, which Newsmax lifted from another site that lifted it from here, was written by a Freeper on the thread about the DNC trolling for sob stories prior to the State Of The Union Address.

Some here are disappointed that NewsMax didn't credit FR for the Fonda-Kerry photograph, even claiming that we "got it" from FR.
In truth, the copies that appeared on FR were "borrowed" from Corbis, featuring the CORBIS stamp across its image. Had NewsMax simply used that image, Corbis woud have sued the daylights out of us.
To use that photo legally, NewsMax had to pay Corbis quite a tidy sum.
As many here already know, NewsMax credits FR far more frequently than any other commercial news site on the Web.
And, without naming names, other prominent commercial conservative web sites have decided to ignore the Fonda-Kerry photo story altogether. Had NewsMax not raised the issue of this photo in the first place (See: "The Photo Dems Fear Most"), it would have likely never been uncovered on FR or anywhere else.
Since getting this photo into wider circulation involved a significant financial committment that others chose not to make, I did not feel it was appropriate to credit beyond Corbis.
