AFP Fauxtography
BY STEVE

Notice anything odd about this AFP photo?




The caption claims the bullets were fired at an elderly woman's house by U.S. troops during a raid after yesterday's devastating suicide bombings. The only problem is, the bullets appear to be in perfect condition. They even apparently still have their shell casings on them, meaning they couldn't possibly have been fired at anybody or anything. So what happened? Did those evil imperialist U.S. soldiers run out of rifles and decide to throw them at her?

Agence France Presse was apparently so eager to publish this photo and label U.S. soldiers as monsters that they didn't even bother to make certain the bullets had actually been discharged from a weapon first.

(Thanks to Protest Warrior for bringing this to our attention)
