what is the commonly accepted behavior of a rescue worker..lol
The commonly accepted behavior of a rescue worker is to treat the dead respectfully, lay them on a stretcher and cover them, NOT to spend hours holding the same corpse up to photographers as he did.
Seriously, I don't see the significance of all bodies having dust on them....maybe survivors had brushed away dust looking to identify, maybe some bodies were under other bodies.??
The dead at Qana were supposed to be killed in a building collapse. That produces very thick dust that covers everthing. Remember how people coming out of the World Trade Center looked. They were gray with dust. The only way you get it off is to wash the bodies. The bodies were supposedly being pulled straight from the wreckage, yet some were covered in thick dust, while others were clean, some looked freshly killed but others had been dead some time and had rigor mortis or signs of decomposition.
The logical conclusion is that they didn't all come from Qana, some were brought in. This conclusion is supported by the Red Cross, who has dropped the number of dead from over 50, as was first claimed, to 28.
As for the banner. The Qana airstrike took place around 2am of July 30. The building collapsed around 8am, according to reports. Why it took so long, we don't know. Notice the caption and the date of this AP photograph:

Nobody can say that Hezbullah isn't media savvy. |
