Its not illegal to Photoshop a picture. Publishing a photoshopped image
that would embarrass or defame someone in it is, except in the USA there
law makes a big exception for politicians, who can be slandered and
libeled with virtual impunity. If they couldn't, the politicians
themselves would have nothing to say in their campaign ads!
