the gang over at boing boing posted the photos of two dead soldiers.
the catch? the u.s military has doctored the images. eagle-eyed chief photog over at the San Antonio Express-News spotted the photoshop shenanigans.
it seems that for one reason or another they have chosen to cut and paste different faces onto the identical body.
without getting into conspiracy theories, the lesson from this is in the media 2.0 world, be transparent. don’t have a photo of the soldier patriotically standing in front of a flag? just say it, or release what you have.
that soldier didn’t need a flag behind him to be patriotic, he died serving one.
