The Times' caption said: "Pakistani men with the remains of a missile fired at a house in the Bajur tribal zone near the Afghan border." Only it's not the remains of a missile, it's an old artillery shell. Which means the photo was deliberately faked by the people depicted, probably with the knowing aid of the AFP photographer. I think the villagers were lying about not hosting members of al Qaeda, too.
The moral of the story is that these villagers need to be careful who they invite for a "sleepover"...

Ah, yes, the New York Times.

I like to think of them as the Ginger Lynn of newspapers.

Hate to be skeptical, but considering we can't even see the original NYT article (did anyone get even a screenshot?), it's hard for me to be convinced of this......

"Journalists" staging photographs to further their pet leftist agenda of choice?...nahhhhhh

Welcome back Bryan!

Welcome back
Your dreams were your ticket out...

legion 01-16-2006 10:19 AM

BTW, how do we know that the photographers who took the above pictures were not staging the staging?

ronin 01-16-2006 10:23 AM

how do we know I even made this post!?

legion 01-16-2006 10:27 AM

How do we know that Pelican really exists?

Do I really exist?

Oh no! What if I don't exist?

ronin 01-16-2006 11:01 AM

that's o.k. just don't tell yourself and you'll never know

If a tree fell in a forest and nobody heard it, did the tree still make a noise?

lendaddy 01-16-2006 11:17 AM

If trees could scream would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?

If I find an unused section of the gym to rip a fart, at the same moment somebody decides to come into that area despite it being a low traffic area, is it my responsibility?

ronin 01-16-2006 11:35 AM

yes. you methane-leaking freak, you. if you had any balls, you'd fart in plain sight (or should that be smell?) :p

Mulhollanddose 01-16-2006 12:16 PM

I was just being existential. I never did like Descartes...I rip, therefore, I am.

ronin 01-16-2006 12:35 PM

y'know, there are those of us that have the ability to figure that out and go on to the next joke... http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/happy.gif



Descartes was a hack

Mulhollanddose 01-16-2006 01:12 PM

I am more of the Popeye school of thought, "I yam what I yam and that is all that I am."

To beat a dead horse, or not to beat a dead horse, that is the question.

ronin 01-16-2006 03:14 PM

that's it! I'm calling the ASPCA on you!


you sick man, you

Remember this one?...This staged media event happened at the same time the media were jumping on the Bush administration for staging an event.
