The recently reported launch of several missiles by Iran receives comment in an MSNBC "Photoblog" at:

Too many missiles

"As the media editor working the msnbc.com home page yesterday, I was frustrated with the quality of a fuzzy video image we published of the Iranian missile launch. So I was thrilled when the top image crossed the news wires. Today, I learned that the image was apparently manipulated, possibly to hide the fact that one missile failed. Many major U.S. newspapers and news websites ran the photo as well."

Lovely pictures at the second link, although reader comments are unsophisticated.
