<http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N07348592.htm> Disgraced Reuters freelance photographer Adnan Hajj was dismissed by the wire service for altering a photograph of a Lebanese skyline to make the damage caused by Israel look worse (big hat tip to Charles Johnston at <http://www.timeswatch.org/secure/www.littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/weblog .php> Little Green Footballs, who first uncovered the fake photo). More photos by Hajj are being scrutinized, and at least <http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/184216.php> one other photo has been proven to have been digitally altered. But before his disgrace, Hajj made the front page, above-the-fold of Saturday's New York Times with a <http://graphics10.nytimes.com/images/2006/08/04/world/04mide_slide7.jpg> photo of what the picture caption claims is a "wounded civilian" (but with Hajj we can no longer be sure). The Times has used him in the <http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2006/07/24/world/20060724_MIDE_SLIDESHOW_3 .html> past as well. Now the question is: Will the Times check the validity of previous work by Hajj that has appeared within its pages?
