I'm sure those in the unaltered photo were much happier being bombed in 
low contrast. As I mentioned before, look at Christopher Anderson's work 
http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/ on the Magnum site. Anderson, a Canadian, 
should be relatively objective. His work seems to be straightforward and 
for him, a very risky business. Wonder what rationale Limbaugh would use 
prove Anderson's images fake? Perhaps he could call on Westmoreland's PR 
expert who stated Nick Ut faked it with his napalm shot. I've heard 
tales David Turnley missed the shot loading an M3 but that Ut was also 
using a Leica?
