Gentlemen & gentlewomen,

The photographer is dead! His career illustrated to the world the idiocies
of war and this dissection of whether one of his photographs is real or fake
is demeaning, and without question, deplorable!

He is revered as one of the greats of photojournalism, an idol to some of us
a role model to others. He went before many of us, who today earn our living
in the still violent ways of the world. Let us not thrash this photographer
and a photograph that, it's highly unlikely there is one single one here who
can say, "I was there and it was real or not!"

Leave him and his photography in peace!  Go out and take pictures!
