And in a slightly, semi-related story.... Reuters journalist admits to doctoring smoke plumes in photos:

Reuters admits doctoring Beirut photo

In the most recent in a series of online controversies to take on the mainstream media, a series of Web sites discredited a Reuters photograph of the fighting in Lebanon, forcing the news agency to issue an apology and remove the image from their archives.

The photograph by Adnan Hajj, which shows plumes of smoke rising from downtown Beirut after an IAF bombing, appeared to have been doctored to show more intense smoke and destruction over the city.

The Reuters news agency issued a statement acknowledging that "photo editing software was improperly used on this image. A corrected version will immediately follow this advisory. We are sorry for any inconvenience."

Where do they get the idea that they will get away with this kind of blatant subterfuge?

Yes, Jer... I'm a real celeb now. Jessica Alba has been ringing my phone off da hook.

Update....... just FYI, the Flight 93 photo analysis I did with Killtown is basically being ignored almost across the 9/11 Truth Movement. According to Killtown, Rense, WhatReallyHappened and "all 20 of Alex Jones' sites" haven't deemed it worthy of any coverage. At all.

Hmmm.......

I saw the story posted on PrisonPlanet..? I'm pretty sure I did.

Yeah, here's the headline:

Conspiracy theorists blog that Flight 93 photo is fake

Here's an angle on '93 from a guy on letsroll911 forum who says he works at a USAF base, the thread's about contrails, but he had this to say about '93.

Allow me to post up the newer graphics stuff I did for Killtown:

This one is in response to some on his blog who insist the plume doesn't line up with the "hole" because my placement of McClatchey is off (it's not, btw). So, I did an analysis of "how far off" her location would have to be in order for the plume to line up. (Apparently the driveway/road junction and other objects referenced for alignment weren't enough for these 'skeptics', so I obliged them with more graphics work.)



In order to align the cloud with the govt's hole, she'd have to have been over 50 yards to her left (Eastward, into the wooded clearing, and behind a row of trees, with a small structure between her and the horizon.) In any case, my placement of her is most likely precise to within a foot or 18"maybe 2, at most.
........................................................................
The next batch of comments concerns the issue that - if the smoke cloud was a believable size (which it is not), could it have drifted into position where Val snapped the picture? I.e., could it have originated at the hole, and the prevailing 9 knot wind that morning (Nat. Weather Svc.) blew it into alignment with her camera angle?

For background, consider Val's story, in which she details that she took this shot (the only shot she took, btw) within "5 seconds" of hearing the blast, and rushing out her door, camera in hand.



A 756' drift at 15.19 feet/second (9 knots) would have taken closer to 50 seconds to complete. So, this is another problem with either the hole, the cloud, or Val's schtick.

I know this may seem like overkill to some of you here, but we're dealing with some people who are determined to prove my analysis incorrect. However, not quite as determined as I am to prove that it's factual.

I'm with you on this one, Rump.

The thing that caught my eye about the guy's post was his comment about the appearance of the 'ditch' and the debris and the fact that he said that it was Government land, which I hadn't previously read. (or mebbe I had, but couldn't remember)

He says it here:

about 1/3 down the page. Just search the page <Cntrl+F> for 'ditch'.

The thread's titled 'Debunking Chemtrails' over at the letsroll911 forum - worth a read IMHO, because I think that the way that this WxMan's thread progresses tells us a bit of a story about how they are going about trying to destroy the '9/11 Truth Movement'. Chekkit out....

I asked my ex-Navy pilot brother to weigh in on the Chemtrails thing a few months ago.

He reiterated my own feelings that "whomever who poison our air would poison their own." In his opinion, if there indeed was any chemical release from aircraft, the only scenario he could imagine and go for, would be the dumping of hazardous waste in remote areas.

Now that..... could be a lucrative business, considering the cost of toxic chemical disposal brought on by the environmental movement. (And something the environmetal movement itself <adjusting foil hat> could be involved with, sung to the tune of "Kaaaaaa-ching!")

I don't think this was mentioned in any of the posts to date. Are there records of local weather conditions? If 9/11/01 was a windy or even breezy day at the crash site, then the smoke from the explosion must be a PhotoShop artifact.

Look at that one row of three pictures comparing (1) the photo in question, (2) the smoke ball from a military ordnance explosion, and (3) a jet fuel fire.

In (2), the ordnance explosion, look how the smoke-ball is drifting away, even though the breeze is so light it isn't even re-shaping the smoke very much.

By the way, Bollyn was recently harassed for no reason by the ADL connected Chicago Police. Here he is talking about his investigation on the hoax of flight 93: http://www.iamthewitness.com/DarylBradfordSmithInterviewsBollyn.html
