Default Re: Reuters Admits Altering Beirut Photo

What I don't understand is that some of the copying would actually require a good deal of skill e.g. the duplicated building in the background would have taken far more skill, and is far better done, then the smoke. So I'm wondering if there could be something else at play here.

Is that the kind of damage the vehicle would have sustained in a guided missile attack?

Good shot? Or vandalism? You be the judge.
Shaped charges, like those found in HEAT weaponry can blow incredibly small holes in things. In fact, thats what they are supposed to do.





So the fact that you think the hole is too small isn't sufficient proof of anything.
