					<description><![CDATA[&quot;You cannot photoshop negative film.&quot;

Sure I can. Just take a picture of a photoshopped scene with a finer resolution than the grain size of the film, using a specialized monitor with an refresh rate adjusted to exactly triple the camera&#039;s shutter speed. Poof, you have a negative of a scene that could be phony as a three-dollar bill.

Of course, these methods weren&#039;t publicly available in the 80&#039;s. Age of the negative and examination for telltale aliasing are part of any good battery of tests, but it would be easy to just skip them if one assumes, as most people do, that &quot;negatives never lie.&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[To Isaiah Hunahun:
Tha article was in Russian, hardly you read it. It contend that the photos were shot in 1980 in Tehran by Soviet diplomat, and negative was found in his archive. It was old celluloid film camera, not digital. The negative was studied by experts, they claim that there was no image manipulation or photomontage. You cannot photoshop negative film. If, of course, the whole story is not a hoax.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I find Whittle to be far more clear in his thinking than anyone on the left.

Unfortunately the Iraqis are killing each other, and have ceased to be worthy of the sacrifice that noble minded anglospheric troops may make.

Rumsfeld did a good job of transforming the military, but there&#039;s no military on earth that&#039;s optimized to deal with the type of fratricide you see in Iraq.  Think of it as a preview of the entire arab world--wherever Shia and Sunni coexist.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;B&gt;
Garry K, putting &quot;radical&quot; before &quot;Islam&quot; matters. It&#039;s just seven letters, won&#039;t sprain your fingers to type it.
Anonymous &#124; 11.14.06 - 12:40 am &#124; # &lt;/b&gt;

&quot;Bob&quot; is 3 letters, and it won&#039;t sprain your fingers to type it in the box.

What do these people think they are, Gods?

I believe that if you have the power, you have the right. This is predicated upon the premise, that without power, you don&#039;t have any rights. As we see in Darfur, this supports my premise. In America, the people have power, therefore we have rights. Those without power, have no rights, either de jure or de facto.

There&#039;s two levels of looking at it. Rights on an idealistic and philosophical level. And rights on a real, pragmatic, effective level.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Another note about legitimacy: it turned out that Ahmady-Nejad, current president of Iran, was among liders of terrorist gang that invaded US embassy in Tehran and for a year kept its personnel as captives. See these fotos:

http://mignews.com/news/scandals/world/141106_120039_79252.html

Now, US have legitimate right to issue international order to arrest and render this very terrorist to stand before US court of justice. And, also, moral right to assassinate him at spot to return a debt.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[And what is legitimacy, by the way? Legitimacy only exist in some legal system. What system do you imply? If it is Sharia law, then any aggression against infidels is legitimate - see Quran. For Jews and Christians any war of self-defence, including preemptive one, is a just war (see Wiki). And for cheese-eating and beer-devouring surrender monkeys and their American copy-cats NO war is just. Clearly, these very diverse notion of legitimacy are irreconcilable. You want to decide it by majority vote? The result is known, these 1.4 bln Muslims are clear majority. So at this moment of history legitimacy is a void notion.]]></description>
