How can manipulated images affect society and how the use of Photoshop can harm others?

It could start a war! No really. You know how george w. bush and his henchmen have been dying to get into another oil war? This time with Iraq (because that's where the oil is). Well how do you that? The people aren't interested in another useless war that doesn't ';really'; affect them back home - unless they have kids over there of course.





So in order to get the people behind your stupid idea, why not make it look like the ';bad guys'; are trying to kill everyone. Make up a story about weapons. Nope, tried that one already. I know! Make up a story about weapons, but THIS time have the photos to prove it!





Sounds too far fetched to happen in this day and age, huh? Well it DID happen recently:

Only nobody is taking the blame. The photo appeared all over the u.s. press, but it came from Agence-France who claimed they got it from an Iranian website etc etc. Everyone blaming everyone else, but nobody is checking the facts! Missiles sell papers people! WAR! WAR! WAR!





Sorry for the rant. bush is gone, but Photoshop remains :)
