It makes me wonder. How the fuck does the Boston Globe manage to publish fake pictures? Like how does that happen?
I don't know the answer to that question, but what I do know is that the psychological end result is "so those horrible pictures I saw weren't of the real event? Ok that makes me feel a little better."
edit: not to mention that it discredits the story for many others. "Well if the pictures weren't real how do I know anything else was."
UPDATE: for anyone still following this thread which was promptly killed here is the story which did in fact happen (although the real pictured were killed by Obama no doubt):http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-201_162-3133434.html http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-201_162-3133434.html
This has been a classical demonstration of how unwanted stories are killed and buried in a sophisticated machine called American War Propaganda and PR
The facts remain, however.
-a 14 year old girl's family was shot dead while they lay asleep (including a 5 year old)
-the 14 year old girl was gang raped by a bunch of US soldiers
-the girl was also shoot dead and her body was burned with kerosene
-the soldiers all got between 5 and a 100 prison sentences
-the story was very effectively killed and discredited by publishing it alongside fake pictures... Then again we can't have our freedom dispersing heroes at risk of retaliation attacks based on the acts of these few isolated cases right?
