Salam Daher, also known as “Green Helmet Guy,” the corpse-posing ghoul from Qana photographed by discredited Reuters propagandist Adnan Hajj (among others), makes it to the podium of the UN General Assembly via Hizballah’s poodle, Emile Lahoud:

UPDATE at 9/21/06 11:05:53 am:

Snapped Shot has a transcript of Lahoud’s appalling speech: Fauxtography in search of a point.

UPDATE at 9/21/06 11:11:49 am:

As a reminder, here’s the video from German TV showing Salam Daher directing a scene in which he removes a child’s body from an ambulance and poses it for photographers like a side of beef.
