Perhaps this was one of those AP photos that was faked.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

oh wait, the ones from august '07 are from afp
hmm
now that the original question has been resolved, i have two additional questions i'd love to hear though-out answers to:
(1) how often has this kind of thing been on the past? i mean, i understand that staged photos have been common, but how often has the quality of journalists from so many sources failed so completely that photos as obviously staged as these ones have ended up on all the major (mainstream, "legitimate") newspapers on most (>50%) of the countries in the world?
(2) why do AP and AFP still have any sort of credibility among local newspapers after these fiascos? why are they still used as middlemen to gather photos?Comment

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment
