a simple word about staged photos...

      We live in a world where words and truth are 
as reliable as smoke.The current "prison photos" 
debacle help illustrate that if all we had were 
mere words...the outrages would be a non scandal...

....no one would believe the words. Words and 
reports have become as suspect as politicians 
statements.

If photos through manipulation become unreliable 
as truth...I believe they too will entirely lose 
their value...


I fear where this would leave us.
