At least a dozen LGF readers emailed about the picture that accompanies this CBS News story on the Fiqh Council’s bogus fatwa against terrorism: Muslim Scholars Condemn Terror.

The credit under the picture reads “(AP / CBS)” and it’s hard to tell whether this is a genuine photograph or if it’s been altered by CBS. I searched the usual photo sites and didn’t find this one anywhere else. If it’s a Photoshop job they took the time to fake a shadow.

The question is, which of these two possibilities is more disturbing?

 Frank says:

For my taste, these solos (of some 50s blues guitarists) are exemplary because what is being played seems honest and, in a musical way, a direct extension of the personality of the men who played them. -- January 1977.
