Great to have several photos available by different photographers to validate authenticity. This does not occur however frequently enough.
Great faux photo forensics lesson Charles, and great call conclusion on the call of this photo, Lizards!

If the worldwide media is going to require photographic evidence from Israel that Hamas rockets were just launched from any site that Israel bombs (as they seem to be doing with the UN school), then it is only fair that we require from the worldwide media at least one corroborating shot from a vastly different angle, at the same moment, and from a different news outlet before any news photo can be published anywhere.

And I’m being nice by equating them. There have been lots more fauxtos from AP and Reuters than there have been geniune errors in bombing by Israel.
