Picture kill

While I seem to be on the Israel versus Lebanon thing at the moment this is an interesting video of the story behind this massively photoshopped picture which made it into the mainstream media and was picked up upon by bloggers and small scale news agencies whilst the big boys seem to have tried to quietly brush it under the carpet upon realising the error.

And here is a link to a similar page with just pictures and commentary for those of you who can't look at videos because of slow connection or the IT dictators blocking YouTube.

Update: Ok the BBC have noted this but are making no denials or admisions as to using the footage.
