Fake Photo from Military
Yesterday a doctored photo was published of Australian special forces showing 51 planes in Western Iraq.
Check out this fake plane photo posted by Reuters. I will attach it in case they change it. I can't believe this A.P. reporter didn't check the photo:

It's easy to see if you paste this into mspaint on Windows XP. Grab the Corner with the diagonal arrow and enlarge the picture proportionately. You can almost immediately see the overlapping seam. Then use zoom and scan where the last palm tree on the right meets the plane. You will see the splice where the pixels of the plan "overlap" the Palm Tree. The Russian defense minister said on cdi.org that he didn't think the Iraqis had any planes left. So why is the coalition planting this cover story? Planes in the Western Iraqi desert? Unseen by our satellites and special operations? There must be some story being cooked up. Perhaps we will bomb out of some Baghdad target or maybe an American city and blame it on the Iraqis MIGs. Perhaps this is a prelude to a cooked up story about finding weapons of mass destruction. But why would they do such a poor job with the fake? Why are the Australians wearing balaclavas in the desert anyway?
