Why are some making a big deal of this? Najif

I don't understand the big deal. If a photo that was typod's Bagdad instead of Najaf as the place where the anti-US occupation protests were, (even though there were protests in both places) WHAT is the problem? Some are saying that this dismisses......what?

"Some bloggers have taken this photo, published in a U.S. military report on the Sadrist demonstration in Najaf, and are running with it as proof that the demonstration was not as large as the media made it to be. And now the photo is all over the blogosphere.

Except that it's not really in Najaf. It's actually a photo of central Baghdad just outside the Sheraton Hotel. Ironically, the misleading photo was posted by bloggers who routinely attack the media for its perceived bias and sloppy reporting.

I am amazed that not one of the bloggers, or their thousands of readers, have noticed that this is a photo of a much smaller demonstration taken yesterday during curfew at Fardous Square, Baghdad (Remember? The place where Saddam's statue was pulled down)."

1. I'm kicking this because I think it is a stupid ploy by the right to try and make something

out of nothing. But I wanted some input? :shrug:

Are they just making a stupid nonsense point like Nancy Pelosi shouldn't have gone to Syria while not mentioning the Rethukes that did?
