As-Safir Newspaper, Where Hajj Edits, Shows Disgusting Photos Of Corpses Being Displayed (BONUS: More Fakery)

***SCROLL FOR UPDATES***

Reader Michelle has tipped me off to a very disturbing photo slideshow at the website of As-Safire Newspaper. Yeah, the As-Safir that we recently learned employs Adnan Hajj as an economic editor.

I don't want to show a lot of the images here because they are extremely graphic and disgusting, but if you have the stomach for it, it's important to see how these "Lebanese civilians" treat their dead - By dangling mangled and charred corpses, one after another for cameras of local newspapers..

*BONUS* Some mild (comparitively) photo fakery included. Again, I don't want to show these extremely graphic images, but I need to show two to expose the photo fakery. Read the captions closely (photos are linked to their location on As-Safir's site):

A United Nations medic holds a body that was badly charred and destroyed after an Israeli missile hit a van carrying passengers on a road in southern Lebanon, July 15
Lebanese civil defence member carries the corpse of a young girl from the southern village of Marwahin

There is no question that this is the same man... The question is why he's identified as a "Lebanese civil defence member" when is shirt patch is visible (and the UN flag isn't), and why when there is a hand in front of his badge and a UN flag visible he is called a "United Nations medic"? WTF?! Sadly, as this is a Lebanese paper, we can't hold their feet to the fire the same way we can over here, however one of those photos is credited to Reuters, and I suspect all in the album are, but they aren't labeled clearly.

If you have the stomach for it, and want to see this dual-careered hero disgustingly posing and dangling corpses for cameras, check out the rest of the short slide show.

By the way, like Allah who can't keep up with the tips, I have a backlog of things that need posting but I simply don't have the time. Stay tuned to see them trickle out.

*UPDATE*
Trouble isn't over for Reuters either (I'm talking to you Alan Colmes). Earlier they LIED, reporting that Israel bombed a funeral procession. Later they took it back in a very low key manner (h/t Allah).

***UPDATE***
TownHall has more on the parading of dead children for the cameras.
