A tad of debunking on the 'Run in circles, scream and shout' crowd, about Bin Ladens photo being fake, just now being brought up when THAT PHOTO IS A 2 YEAR OLD FAKE.
That is, yesterdays news is once again being pedaled as today's news, to keep the facts as dammed confused as possible, so those who have at least some interest, will get bored and go away and only remember the most sensational sound byte. Scott Osama bin Laden corpse photo is fake *Image of bloodied man picked up by British newspapers has been circulating online for two years* *Amelia Hill* <http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/ameliahill> guardian.co.uk <http://www.guardian.co.uk/>, Monday 2 May 2011 12.03 BST An image purporting to show Osama bin Laden's bloody corpse An image purporting to show Osama bin Laden's bloody corpse, right, is a composite of two separate images, left and centre. Photograph: twitpic An image apparently showing a dead Osama bin Laden <http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/osamabinladen>broadcast on Pakistani television and picked up by British newspaper websites is a fake. The bloodied image of a man with matted hair and a blank, half-opened eye has been circulating on the internet for the past two years. It was used on the front pages of the Mail, Times, Telegraph, Sun and Mirror websites, though swiftly removed after the fake was exposed on Twitter. It appears the fake picture was initially published by the Middle East online newspaper themedialine.org <http://www.themedialine.org/news/news_detail.asp?NewsID=24972>on 29 April 2009, with a warning from the editor that it was "unable to ascertain whether the photo is genuine or not". Since then, however, the image has been claimed as genuine on a number of conspiracy forums and used to substantiate claims that the terrorist responsible for the 9/11 bombings had been killed. The Guardian was one of the few sites to hold back from using the manipulated image on its front page, reporting the picture's existence in its live blog but questioning its legitimacy <http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/richard-adams-blog/2011/may/02/osama-bin-laden-dead-live#block-32>. The image is based on a genuine photograph of Bin Laden taken in 1998 and used by the Reuters news agency. On Twitter, a composite including the other photograph used to make the image <http://twitpic.com/4sa55u>was posted by @HannahMarbina <http://twitter.com/HannahMarbina>and other users showed how easy it was to find the image already online with a simple search <http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:HhEh-2wPwVMJ:www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2009/04/29/osama-bin-laden-believed-dead-by-pak-int+osama+bin+laden+believed+killed+by+pak+intel&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&source=www.google.co.uk>. // // / / // // / // // "Be careful when you fight the monsters,lest you become one" Friedrich Nietzsche "We had fed the heart on fantasies,the heart's grown brutal from the fair" William Butler Yeats / [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:la...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
