Doctoring that photo seems pointless if you ask me. Is a bit more smoke going to add that much to the dramatic effect? It is funny though...

it seems like they just tried to make the color better, because the buildings are alot sharper and more colorful looking.....definatly not made to make damage look worse or anything

alot of assumptions on the ambluance portion of the vid..

the hole in the wall video is prety slick on their part. as is the funeral procession.. just shows you how effective both sides are at playing the media...

Still alot of assumptions and bias at play, i also like how they stage the video to look like a 60min story...

funny to have a propaganda video about propaganda videos... haha

tit for tat.. goes back to both sides playing the media...

ask yourself this..

who paid for the computer simulations?

Quit being naive, Dre. the attack is toward the photographer that's recently been given the boot. There was no need to edit the photo to "clear it up." What? We really needed to see the similar buildings behind the smoke? The original photo looked just fine. There's no question that he's added higher plumes of smoke. The photographer is aparently notorious for taking pictures that belittle Israel, and photos that make Hezbollah looking like a white mushroom. No surprise that his name is Adnan Hajj... most likely a Hezbollah supporter as he is from Lebanon.

Exactally. And even if he does: do you really blame him? If you were Lebanese, and getting the **** bombed out of your country every day for weeks on end, who would you support? I doubt you would say the country that is bombing you and killing your fellow citizens. Hizballah may be a terrorist organization, but you really can't blame the lebanese people for supporting them right now (even if they are the reason that Isreal is bombing them).

I don't think you're giving enough credit to the Lebanese people who are pissed at Hezbollah and Israel. Yes, on the one hand there are Israeli [American] bombs falling in their cities, but they all know damn well why, and they're getting sick of being used as shields.
