"Doctored" Beirut photos. Is this a real story?
  Ok, I love some forums to death but they just don't get much play, and that's a shame. This is one of them. Your challenge, and it's specific: to help find whatever evidence to prove or disprove that the "Doctored" Beirut photos are a real story or a fake.

  I'm not talking about the photos, themselves. There is clearly a doctored photo floating around which was manipulated from one that Adnan Hajj originally took. Beyond that, things like Reuters yanking the photo with an apology, suspending the photographer, etc, are all up in the air. The most active thread on this is here.

  This thread is not about debating, this thread is about producing links to sources which support or do not support that these allegations and fallout are actually real. This message may be unclear, I'm sorry if it is. I and my girlfriend were watching a bunch of children and now that they've left we're heading off to a baby shower in the next few hours. My intent is to get a stub that others can add to, if they wish, outside of the main discussion thread, for those wishing to research this matter in a more objective environment.

1. References to "Adnan Hajj" and "reuters" in Google News
As of ~12:18 PM PST these are the only Google News sources carrying this story:

Journalism.co.uk, UK 2 hours ago
Jawa Report, TX 3 hours ago
Jerusalem Post, Israel 3 hours ago
American Thinker, AZ 3 hours ago
Blinq, PA 4 hours ago
Israel Insider, Israel - 5 hours ago
Wizbang, DC - 8 hours ago
NewsBusters - 12 hours ago
Hot Air, MD - 16 hours ago
Judeoscope.ca, Canada - 16 hours ago

(Apparently this started as a thread on Little Green Footballs, a conservative blog/website.)

2. Alleged "picture kill" from Reuters.
Michelle Malkin (I'm going to throw up now, thank you)

Lists link to alleged picture kill message from Reuters and links to Yahoo news pictures where it was (apparently) posted. I have gone through 16 pages of Yahoo Photos from her link but cannot find the picture kill message. May be edited out from Yahoo News by editors there. Can anyone find the link to the picture kill from Reuters at Reuters?
