Unclinched Press

By Brian C. Ledbetter | 30 November, 2009

When you see this photo, taken by Reuters stringer Sharif Karim, do you think:

(a) What kind of news agency treats the rantings of a murderous thug as a valid democratic expression?

(b) Did Sharif Karim go out of his way to select a woman raising her hand in order to buttress Hassan Nasrallah's claim of non-Islamic fame?

(c) How bad does Hassan Nasrallah smell after hiding in a bunker for the past three years?

Or (d), all of the above?

I pick (d), naturally. How about you?
