And this guy should talk to Pixi...!! "The photographer has denied
deliberately attempting to manipulate the image, saying that he was
trying to remove dust marks and that he made mistakes due to the bad
lighting conditions he was working under," said Moira Whittle, the
head of public relations for Reuters.

Doctored pics together with Paxi-history, International Paxinomics,
and Paxi-Diplomacy should get everything pretty well straightened out
between Hezbollah, the Lebanese Govt, and Israel.

Worst PhotoShop touchup ever; really bad use of the "Healing Tool."

I tend to believe the photographer though, it's not like there wasn't a
lot of smoke there to begin with and the places he touched up are spots
where a scratch or dust would show up rather obviously since the area
was plain blue sky without any texture in the background.
