this New York Times photograph of a crowd of Lebanese refugees:
This is probably nothing.
If it’s photo manipulation, it’s certainly an incredibly mundane example, and I can’t think of a reason why anyone would do it.
I’m tossing this to the lizardoid community for comment from the other photoshop geeks out there, without rendering any judgment yet.
In other words, I am not saying this is a definite fake; I know we’ve got quite a few experts at digital manipulation among our readers, and I’m sincerely asking for their opinions.
But look at the image of the man in the lower right corner; the more I examine it, the more it resembles a man’s head crudely pasted onto the body of a woman. Note the scarf under his chin, the outlines of something else at the right of his head, and more artifacts at the top and left of his head.
And note the rest of the clothing, which resembles the other women’s clothing much more than the men’s. The lighting of his face seems off, as well.

There is writing on the man's shirt. Could that explain why he's photoshopped in? A message to somebody?
Ah, but the whiney little Jihadi peed his pants, so all the libs will have sympathy with him any way.
That is totally insulting.
I'm afraid this is an attempt to paint Israel as an agressor toward Blacks....specifically ...Afro-Americans??!!
I think it says "Vote for Al Gore for President".
To a Moslem, smoke is symbolic of prophecies
Huzafa narrates that Mohammed (pboh) said: "Qiyamah (LAST JUDGEMENT) will not come till you see ten signs, which are: Smoke which spreads throughout the East and West for forty days; Dajjal; Da'aba, a four-legged beast of the length of 60 yards. He will have the stick of Musa [Moses] and ring of Sulaiman [Solomon]. In running he will have no equal. He will strike Mu'min with Musa's stick and will mark the word Mu'min on his face and similarly put the stamp of Kafr [Star of David] on the face of the Kafr; Rising of the sun from the West; Descent of Isa ibn Maryam [Jesus]; Juj and Majuj [Gog and Magog]; Sinking of the earth at three places, East, West, and Arabian Gulf; Fire which will emanate from one side of Aden and drive the people to Hasr.

It probably says 'Al says global warming is real'
Why was Garrett Morris there?
Ok, I checked out the picture at Little Green Footballs, and here's my best guess.
The original picture was a doctor, maybe a US doctor, who didn't want his picture in the paper. The place was a hospital, and it looks as though that could be hospital scrubs over the left shoulder and a brown, collared shirt over the right shoulder, and possibly a hospital type mask pulled down around the neck. I have no idea why the poster didn't put the brown shirt over both shoulders.
Read twice post once.
Sorry, I thought this was the claim that the smoke in the city not being all that big a deal.

There's a woman wearing a sweatsuit in the exact shade of light teal, with a black and white headscarf.

From actual footage of Sen. John Kerry wind surfing.
I'm not an expert, but being a novice PS dabbler does make me an expert on what looks crappy. That head doesn't go in that picture. The white dot on the top of his head matches the white scarf under his neck. The stuff on the right of his head is just a bad lasso tool application. Besides that, his head is twice as big as the people standing next to him.
