*sadly shaking head* It's disturbing when you can't even trust your own eyes anymore.

Just want to ask that, next time we see an image, and it seems "designed" to be inflammatory that we step back and think for a sec. You might be exactly right. It may very well be "designed" for that purpose. Even our own people have an agenda. There are lot of people outside of that who are as equally willing to use that agenda against us as we are to use it against ourselves.

The real issue is that the source photo is inflammatory and some would like to introduce the red-herring of digital trickery to excuse the fact that one of our troops thought that it would be funny to exploit the goodwill of the Iraqi boys that posed with him.

Here, the faked-topic is introduced to establish that "even our own people have an agenda" and will resort to digital trickery in an effort to malign poor Lcpl Boudreaux.
