SO THEY WERE TALKING SHIT TO AMERICA
It seems like the Revolutionary Guards are very fond of Photoshop, cause the missile test pictures contain one missile too many. Hehe. The picture sold by AFP to most of the mainstream media contained 4 missiles, while the same picture obtained by AP had only 3 missiles. Both news wires got the pictures from the same source, Sepah News, the media arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. The story is on New York Times.

It reminds me of the story Hassan, my friend in Iran told me a while ago about the Iranian president visiting his hometown. Hilarious. The national TV footage showed thousands of people applauding, while local tv which does not have the same digital technique, only showed a few local students forced by the teachers to leave the classes in order to cheer for Ahmadinejad. My question is, what happened to the guys who gave the real picture to AP?

That's hilarious! I guess someone felt that the unfired missile made the picture look less threatening.
Hye, Elle. Been reading your blog ver since you made that link. Well, the question is not the threat , it's the shame. The launch must have failed for that missile, and they couldn't really run the picture as it is cause it raises questions about what happened to the fourth one. But, man, did they have to be stupid too? My friends in Iran tell me they do this on a daily basis with the people applauding Ahmadinead.
