There is another article showing an claimed fake Photo.(closeup) I think it shows internal lens flaws combined with droping 3 flares, and the turbulance caused by the vortex of the plane. The vortex should be stable and create very similar/exactly the same disturbance in each smoke trail. After that short section the smoke trails seems to become differentiated. Your thoughts?
 
If you re-read the link, Reuters has already admitted this to be another doctored photo. Flares do tend to deploy in a very similar manner, but that example was exact - not similar.
 
the problem is that this was such silly doctoring. And the guys career is over, or at least I hope so.
 
Several Hajj photos have been exposed as fraudulent (including this one).

"Fake or Real" thread covered it pretty well, and I'm not sure what benefit is served by this new topic.

My thoughts about the photos from Lebanon in general?
I wish that the news teams would stop the "dead-bodies and rubble" type pix and go out there and start taking images of the people of Lebanon ----- the taxi drivers, the bakers, the casino dealers, the cafe owners, etc. and provide quotes of their views of what their leaders should do to get the Israelis to stop. Let the world see the opinions and the real lives of Lebanese, whose entire country has been hijacked and is being held hostage by Hezbollah.

Just as are Goldwasser and Regev.
Remember Goldwasser and Regev?
Do the Lebanese remember them? And if not, why not?

That's the real story. Where is the coverage of it?
Who in Lebanon is making any effort whatsoever on the behalf of IDF soldiers Goldwasser and Regev? Even the Red Cross has been told "NO, you can't visit or know anything about them"

I cannot believe that not one single Lebanese citizen has come forward to any representative of the media, and made a point of saying:
"Release the IDF hostages, for the sake of our nation, for the sake of all that is good and just in our name"

No, that just has not been reported.
And it should be.

In my country I haven't seen a single news article, either in print or tv/radio/internet, that has actually used the names of the soldiers.

Not one.

Because we wouldn't want readers thinking they were actual people or anything...

I knew the description was totaly fradulent. I still think the 3 objects at the bottom were a camera artifact to begin with (then called bombs). Does this artifact to object thinking happen to remind anyone of some other photos that CTers love to show?

Well on radio and TV we in the UK are seeing interviews with such people every single day and I have to tell you it isn't very pleasant when you hear comments from self identified Christian Lebanese saying they never supported Hezbollah in the past but in future they will do. :(

Which, if true, is a vivid example of the loopy thinking over there. If the whole country decides to join the suicide cult of Hezbollah they condemn Lebanon to a future of endless war and endless death. Because the Israelis aren't going to just smack themselves on the forehead, surrender, and walk themselves into the gas chambers again. The Lebanese, apparently, hate the Israelis more than they love their children.

They might not have supported Hizballah in the past, but they didn't do much to oppose it, did they? Israel withdrew its troops from Lebanon in 2000 in compliance with UN resolution 1559, and Lebanon was supposed to disarm Hizballah in exchange. How come Hizballah never got disarmed?

If it was because the Lebanese army and the Lebanese government didn't have the stomach to take on Hizballah by themselves, why didn't they have the stomach to take on Hizballah when Israel attacked? "Hey, look, the Israelis are trying to do the job we were supposed to have done; let's give them a hand." Hizballah would have been fighting a two-front war, against Israel in the south and the Lebanese army in the north.

But no, the feckless Lebanese army and the feckless Lebanese government and, it appears, the feckless Lebanese Christians, have been content to let Israel absorb all the bloodshed. Then they complain when all that bombing interrupts their beauty sleep.

That's right - but put yourself in the Lebanese shoes. They hate the Israelis, and the Israelis are currently shelling the living daylights out of their country which doesn't help that attitude. The only people who are prepared to fight them are Hezbollah. As far as I know Hezbollah don't run their parts of Lebanon in a particularly unpleasant way, so it's not really that surprising that the people rally round them. They see them as defenders of the country, not the cause of the problem, and until someone can think of a way of spelling out the reality we're stuck with it. We're probably stuck with it full stop, in fact.
