Talk:Adnan Hajj photographs controversy/Archive 1
A couple issues
- Can we get sources for the "a number of others show signs of having been staged" bit? I think it could probably stand to be reworded, too.
- Should we talk about any similarities/connections to the Killian documents incident, or perhaps other instances where the truthfulness of news media has been called into question?

- re. staged.
- Don't know if it's worth a mention, but there's definitively speculation in that direction and when he already has been caught with a hoax once, perhaps it's mandated. Here's a few cites:
- The passage from the Reuters cite:
- “He was among several photographers from the main international news agencies whose images of a dead child being held up by a rescuer in the village of Qana, south Lebanon, after an Israeli air strike on July 30 have been challenged by blogs critical of the mainstream media's coverage of the Middle East conflict.”
- And further:
- “A number of web logs in the United States and Britain have claimed that a man who appeared in much of the international press's coverage of the Qana bombing lifting children's bodies may have been a Hizbullah agent who staged photo-ops for the international media.”
