I agree with Thomas S that the photos of the woman could be legit. Maybe she walked around her house to look at it from another angle. Much like the many Israelis who have lost their homes. For example, a lot of Kiryat Shmona is rubble.
The second link was very convincing.

If you read till the end, it's pretty convincing that the rescue worker is really a Hezbollah agent who lugged around this corpse for hours, just for the sake of photo ops.

AP A Lebanese woman reacts at the destruction after she came to inspect her house in the suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon, Saturday, Aug. 5, 2006, after Israeli warplanes repeatedly bombed the area overnight.(AP Photo/Hussein Malla) (from Yahoo News) Sorry I don't buy the phony photo accusation perhaps she was walking down the street and the photographer took more then one shot or is that to hard for you to comprehend.

Both Reuters and A.P. are "reporting" an agenda...Not news as straight facts! Theirs is an interest in putting in power factions that suppress individualism and freedom.
If forged photos were not bad enough, consider the lies that accompany within the under photo description and the accompanying story!
To say "they" were misled is a lie! Their intention was to mislead through their propaganda.

I call them the "drive by media" this is no longer any integrity or honesty in much of today's news media. I t seems to me they want to make Israel look like the bad guy because Israel is associated with Bush. So Israel bad Bush bad. I've all ready seen all over the internet how this conflict is Bush's fault. Dang he's a busy guy!

Most of the photos are not verified by them. Unjustifiable sources can submit them occassionally. They will use them if they think it will attract or hold a newspaper buyer's interest as their main concern is the bottom line.....sell newpapers and make money. They do this by trying to make things more interesting to the public.

Well they sold out to the oil along with many other countries.
The first picture, I think it could be the same woman in the same area taken from a different position.

AP, and Reuters, didn't make the pics. They have contributor's which submit them. But they have been caught... Reuters just canned the photographer involved and pulled all 900 pics which he had submitted over the years. I doubt they did this on purpose. No one likes to look foolish.
