Lights. Camera. Outrage!

   Ok, so it's day one of my blogging vacation and here I've already
   broken my self-imposed exile. Just because I intended to stop writing,
   however, doesn't mean I've stopped reading and [1]this post from The
   Wide Awake Cafe brought me out of my hammock. It contains a link to a
   [2]series of photos and video images from EU Referendum that show the
   revealing timeline and backstory behind the famous images from the
   Qana attack (caution, the photos of the childrens' bodies are
   intense).
   It is clear that, as we have known, the Israeli attacks killed many
   civilians. What is illuminated, however, is what we have long
   suspected: these events, if not deliberately instigated, are
   enthusiastically manipulated by the likes of the dynamic duo of Green
   Helmet and White Tee-Shirt Guy with assistance from their gang, The
   Willing Media in their never-ending quest to score political points.
   Sadly, outrageously, the score is being kept by dead bodies. These
   little girls are dead, perhaps coldly killed by Israeli bombs, but
   assuredly and cold-bloodedly exploited by the psycho cockroaches of
   Hizbollah and its patrons who first used these children as human
   shields and then searched the rubble for the most shocking remains to
   be paraded [3]bathetically in front of the cameras and then abandoned
   as indifferently as when they were thrust into the line of fire in the
   first place.
   This story, combined with the news that broke over the weekend of the
   doctored photos published by Reuters (a story that even [4]CNN
   couldn't ignore) is truly depressing. Rather than return to my
   hammock, I think I may go to my prayer closet instead.
   That's all I'm blogging today. However, for more details on the
   Reuters scandal see these related stories from [5]Powerline,
   [6]Michelle Malkin and the blogger credited with exposing the fake
   photos, Charles Johnson at [7]Little Green Footballs (slow loading due
   to very heavy traffic).
