Today is the day of the doctored photo; Michelle Malkin notes a USA Today article with a photo of Condoleezza Rice that was altered, apparently to make her look demonic.

The doctored photo has been removed from USATODAY.com, and a weak non-apology added:
Editor’s note: The photo of Condoleezza Rice that originally accompanied this story was altered in a manner that did not meet USA TODAY’s editorial standards. The photo has been replaced by a properly adjusted copy. Photos published online are routinely cropped for size and adjusted for brightness and sharpness to optimize their appearance. In this case, after sharpening the photo for clarity, the editor brightened a portion of Rice’s face, giving her eyes an unnatural appearance. This resulted in a distortion of the original not in keeping with our editorial standards.
