Right, and I'd have some level of trust if these images appeared on the AP website, or CNN or something like that, but I don't know what the hell this http://www.fifth-essence.com/ thing is. Anyway, I went so far as to see if the guy who shot the Palestinian kid was a real AP photographer. I found some Reuters references to his name, and some shots credited to him of various Palestinian/Israeli conflict shots. The fish shot seems to be real - http://www.lavrakas.com/ProServ/contest.html Looks like the plane/moon was shot in 2001 - http://www.airliners.net/open.file/132340/L/ http://www.vinland.com/MoonPlane.html tv
