The ?third-doctored picture was by the same notorious "photographer"
and has the same distinctive smoke pattern. Does it not, FReepers?
My two cents would be that those are pasted pics. There is no way that the air would be so crystal clear around Mahmoud walking in the pic if the building was destoryed thusly and still in a dark smoke burn. Hell, a housefire in my neighborhood filled the air with haze.
We give smoke and mirrors a bad name
Look at the shadows on the guys legs and the direction, then look at the shadows on the building, The sun has moved. These were taken at different times of day.
I am so disappointed and disillusioned by your doctored imagery in your released photo of the Beirut bombing. I have always considered Reuters to be a reliable source of news - now I will always have to wonder.

You got caught red-handed. Please don't talk to us about your superlative fact-checking abilities or your unbiased and even-handed objective coverage ever again. It will make me and many, many others sick to our stomachs and frankly embarrassed for you.

Dude, let it go. There is nothing bogues about that pic.
