A PICTURE IS WORTH A 1,000 WORDS
Charles Johnson of LGF and James Taranto of WSJ OpinionJournal inform us that an Iran-based Hezbollah Web site put up a photo on their site of what was purported to be a photo of the Israeli warship that it had struck and 'blown up' at the beginning of their most recent conflict.
One minor problem, however: Andrew Bolt of the Melbourne, Australia, Herald Sun (you can see the photos there) informs us that the photographic image is, in reality, the HMAS Torrens, which was decomissioned from the Australian Navy and deliberately torpedoed and sunk in 1998.
A picture is worth a thousand words; unless the picture is altered or staged for propagandistic purposes, for it is then worth a thousand words times ten.
