No it isn't - it's still your interpretation.   What Cheney is doing
remains the same, whether or not the photograph is cropped.  Whether
there are other people in the photograph doesn't alter that.

Personally I think the whole editorial choice to pick a photograph
with Cheney at the carvery to illustrate a story about torture is
a pretty clear case of unacceptable editorialisation - the events
depicted in the photograph have nothing to do with the actual story.
But for me that message is in no way altered by the act of cropping;
at the most it just makes the point a little more obvious.
