Standard Skulduggery

I don't know how well discussed this has been back in blighty, but apparently The London Evening Standard are denying that a front-page photo of "Jubilation on the streets of Baghdad" was heavily doctored. The Guardian article runs with the Standard line. Pun definitely intended.

So I took a look at the evidence and it looks cut and dry to me. In fact I spotted the guy in sunglasses who's repeated just from looking at the original photo. It's pretty much cut, paste and dried in fact.

No doubt this kind of doctoring has been going on since The Paleolithic Post, so here's a small victory for the net that deception like this gets some decent exposure these days.
