EDS NOTE: PICTURE MAY HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AS IT WAS SENT VIA NAVY COMMUNICATIONS

So why do you think it was so important for AP to give us this little disclamer?
I don't recall having seen disclamers like this attached to any of the BS put out by OBL or the Taliban.

Just my simple observation...

I've seen these many of this type of disclaimers on official US Military sites as part of the captions for their own pictures.

Because the exhaust is really hot-pink, but the Navy retouched the photos to delude the contrail conspiricists or maybe to obscure the F*#( Osama's painted on the bombs. Whatever it seems pretty stupid.
