More press BS last night by the LA Times.

I was shocked to see the photos on FOX TV News.

The reporter had taken a photo of an American soldier in a protective, non-threatening stance overlooking a group of obviously distraught civilians, including children, hovering close to the ground. A father with a small boy was approaching the soldier. It was a beautiful picture that captured the essence of what our troops are trying to do.

The reporter had a second photo of the same soldier in a different and more belligerent stance with his weapon ready and pointing towards what was probably a problem.

The reporter superimposed the second image of our soldier on the first picture so he appears to be threatening the approaching child with his dad.

The LA Times calls it enhancing the photo.

I call it pure BS...The reporter needs some enhancement. For starters he lost his job...But what kind of work ethic is that? The LA Times war reporting has been questionable at best. Like Arnett, Who can believe anything they say now?
