>>> The above photo and caption from Agence France-Presse were captured from the Yahoo News site, which runs the raw AFP wire. They were picked up apparently by only two media outlets in the world: the Straits Times (Singapore), which ran the caption but not the picture, and the Globe and Mail (Toronto), which rotated it completely off its Website after several hours.

As with the so-called thieves who were publicly stripped and written on by US soldiers in Iraq, the US media have chosen to ignore this incident.

If anyone finds out more, please email me.
