ites:
 DB>> photographer.  Several people who are somewhat knowledgeable on the
 DB>> subject looked and looked and couldn't find evidence of tampering. 
 FA>          My comment is simple, if  several 'knowledgable'  people think
 FA> it is genuine, why is it so hard to believe it is not.  
 PF> This is how non facts become news. From "couldn't find evidence of 
 PF> tampering", you have interpreted, created and misreported "think it is 
 PF> genuine". 
 PF> This is exactly how UFO journalists do it! I suppose by the time you 
 PF> get it to your editor it would be, "A team of the country's top 
 PF> experts, have, after exhaustive study, confirmed the photos as 
 PF> genuine."
 PF> A well done fake photo simply /has/ no evidence of tampering. That 
 PF> does not make them genuine.
Well said.
