Our governments have mutual reasons to keep us antagonized with one another- control. It's all in Foucault, I tells ya! And does anyone notice this keeps happening with Iran- on both sides. We faked that whole incident with them supposedly threatening us, and they do this crapola, with our media complicit. They want to be a threat, we want them to be a threat. I mean, wouldn't a war be mutually advantageous for US, Israel, and Iran? "Of course there is no us and them/ but them they do not think the same" Honestly, I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

I know Nikon provides this option in the D3. All "news" organizations must then be required to filter for said authentication before they can legally post the image. A new symbol needs to be developed to caption an image to indicate that it has not been altered. If the image cannot be authenticated I think we have every right to assume it's been altered. The Photoshop production tool set used by news publishing organizations/blogs should be limited to Curves/Crop for the purpose of making the image more legible to support the news content. Similar to dodge and burn from the darkroom days. News organizations/providers have an ethical responsibility to uphold the highest standards of journalism. There should be stiff penalties for violating this responsibility. This is much worst than using a favorite George Carlin word on the radio and having the FCC all over your back.
