It is now obvious that this is a major scandal, and that Reuters has allowed itself to be used as a vehicle for publishing the crudest forms of Hezbollah propaganda.
Rusty Shackleford at The Jawa Report found this;
Another photo by Reuters photographer Adnan Hajj has been shown to be doctored. The photo, which proports to be of an Israeli F-16 firing missiles on Lebanon has been doctored to make the photo seem more sensational....
... The F-16 in the photo is not firing missiles, but is rather dropping... flares designed to be a decoy for surface to air missiles.
See the photos & how Rusty expose this fraud here.
A Power Line reader, Robert Opalecky sent in two other deceptive photos by Adnan Hajj that Reuters ran;
One is from July 24 of a bombed out area in Beirut, with a clearly identifiable building in a prominent part of the shot. The second is of the exact same area, same buildings, same condition, with a woman walking past "a building flattened during an overnight Israeli air raid on Beirut's suburbs August 5, 2006."
Reuters ran this Hajj photo with the caption, "Journalists are shown by a Hizbollah guerrilla group the damage caused by Israeli attacks on a Hizbollah stronghold in southern Beirut, July 24 2006. (Adnan Hajj/Reuters)";
This Hajj photo ran August 5 with the caption, "A Lebanese woman looks at the sky as she walks past a building flattened during an overnight Israeli air raid on Beirut's suburbs August 5, 2006. (Adnan Hajj/Reuters)"
Reuters has pulled all photots by Adnan Hajj. Adnan Hajj, bye the way submitted a number of photos of the Qana incident, which appears to have been staged as well.
