Uh Oh, Rummy's got a price on his head


An insurgent holds up a poster advertising a purported reward of $15 million dollars for the heads of either U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld (R), coalition forces commander Lieutenant-General Ricardo Sanchez or military spokesman Brigadier-General Mark Kimmitt in the besieged city of Falluja, April 27, 2004. There was no way to check the seriousness of the leaflet. REUTERS/Akram Saleh

4. I call bullshit!

That photo just looks phony as hell. It's not your fault, No2W, but where did you find this picture? Even to the amateur eye (and I'm a total amateur when it comes to photoshop sleuthing), the type looks fakey throughout. No curvature in the paper as in the upper left corner, fonts remain the same size throughout...

I'm just not buying it. :shrug:

ON EDIT: I stand guilty of stating the obvious. :+

I love the photo credit text from Reuters:

18. The Islamic Resistance has OFFICES?
That strikes me as funny for some reason.

And where are those offices? Oh, "in Iraq." Well, that's specific.
