Not that it should surprise anyone, but look at the lousy cut-and-paste job in this image from FoxNews.com |
|
FoxNews.com credits "AP" for the photo shown above. It was on the front page of their site as of 8PM Monday 5/10/04.
Take a look at Donald Rumsfelds head and shoulders in this photo.
He's obviously been "photoshopped in," and not very subtly. I don't think there's any question that this photo is a cut-and-paste job.
I'll leave it to the astute commentators among our readership to speculate on its meaning.
However, I can't resist pointing out that G. W. Bush's facial expression is one of grim concern in both the CNN.com photo and in this image. Also, it's easy to imagine that if the Secretary of Defense were, for example, grinning gleefully after viewing secret images of war crimes being committed by Our Troops, it probably wouldn't look so good.
Media critics, what's your call? |
This work is in the public domain |

It doesn't look doctored to me. Check out this other photo, clearly taken at almost the same time.
It's currently the top pic on cnn
http://www.cnn.com/
This link should work when CNN moves to a different top story picture
http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2004/WORLD/meast/05/10/iraq.abuse.main/top.main.bush.cabinet.ap.jpg
Shouldn't be too hard to track down other shots from the same occasion of the cabinet exiting what looks like what was a pretty depressing meeting. |

Here's the AP's caption from the photo. ABC is running the same photo and has the AP's copyright notice on the photo. So if anyone doctored the photo, which I very much doubt, it would have to have been the AP.

The pentagon briefing is front-page news, so lots of photographers were there when Bush and his entourage exited and Bush made a statement. Here's the BBC's picture:

and their story

Here's BBC video of the entrance and Bush's statement.

Maybe it's just Rummy's robotic stare and soul-less eyes that make it seem that something evil is at hand.
Nahhh... It can't be that. Bush and Cheney look to have basically the same program running. |

Actually I must agree with lefties on this one. If you actually play the photo backwards, you will also hear the words, John is Dead, John is Dead.
Therefore it must be doctored.

I have no idea if the photo is real, or a poorly doctored one. You would assume it is real due to the copyright, but that may be a mistake in our "computer world" of today... I don't understand what difference it makes one way or the other really though, what's the point? |

Actually, it's not doctored, but the CIA's remote mind control program*, sprayed over us by jet contrails**, makes you think that it's doctored. It's true.
