The Ghost of Snapped Shot

Or, welcome to my low-maintenance heck.

Thuggery and Press Conferences by Brian C. Ledbetter on 26-Apr-2007

Another day, another terrorist press conference. You've gotta love how far the press will go to fawn over these thugs.

A handful of photographers sent photographs over the wires of this farce, but of all of them, Reuters is characteristically short on details. Can you guess what Mohammed Salem left out of his captions? I'll be dropping more hints following the break, if you're interested!

Be sure to check out our previous coverage of terrorist press conferences as well. This isn't the first time that the press has gotten the vapours over a group closely resembling the dreaded Ku Klux Klan.

Okay, so what's the big deal? You figured out what Mohammed is leaving out yet?

I know, it's not obvious.

Thankfully, one of the photographers on-scene decided to actually enlighten us a bit. You know, as in doing some actual reporting?

You just can't make this stuff up.
