House Candidate Draws Fire for Web Photo 2 hours, 4 minutes ago

A congressional candidate is under fire for a Web site photo that purported to show a peaceful Baghdad neighborhood but was actually taken in a suburb of Istanbul, Turkey.

"We took this photo of Baghdad while we were in Iraq," the accompanying caption on Howard Kaloogian's Web site read. "Iraq (including Baghdad) is much more calm and stable than what many people believe it to be."

Internet bloggers began questioning the photo earlier this week because none of the signs was in Arabic and billboards were advertising Western products.


I saw it today. Some of the major points of the trip were a fabrication. Its amazing how easily truthiness falls from their lips. Its as if there's a special GOP school that teaches truthiness and they are all graduating summa cum laude!
