Reuters Doctoring Photos from Beirut?

tsk tsk..
OK, now things are getting weird.
This Reuters photograph shows blatant evidence of manipulation. Notice the repeating patterns in the smoke; this is almost certainly caused by using the Photoshop “clone” tool to add more smoke to the image. (Hat tip: Mike.)
It’s so incredibly obvious, it reminds me of the faked CBS memos. Smoke simply does not contain repeating symmetrical patterns like this, and you can see the repetition in both plumes of smoke. There’s really no question about it.
But it’s not only the plumes of smoke that were “enhanced.” There are also cloned buildings. (See below.)

Yeah Reuters pulled the image and issued an apology for it. The guy is most likely never going to shoot in news again when this is over, he also shot images in Qana that have been under srutiny for a while.
