You know, I was excited to see the title of this thread, and oh so disappointed in its content. I expected Alice was commenting on the doctored pictures by a Reuters stringer, purporting to show massive devastation to Beirut (as if the actual devastation wasn't enough) by adding more smoke through a process called cloning. That same stringer apparently doctored other fotos, too. Reuters has taken down all his work. And that, Clinton Hammond, is the 'so' in digital distortion when used for misleading propoganda.

PS-the picture and the explaination of the doctoring can be found on littlegreenfootballs.com
