Reuters Rot II
Michelle Malkin notes Reuters is playing catchup with the blogosphere.
Reuters withdrew all 920 photographs by a freelance Lebanese photographer from its database on Monday after an urgent review of his work showed he had altered two images from the conflict between Israel and the armed group Hizbollah.

UPDATE:
Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs notes how Reuters dances around giving credit where credit is due.
UPDATE II:
Rusty Shackleford notes the AP is protecting their disgraced competitor Reuters (emphasis added):
Reuters said Monday it has cut its ties with a Beirut-based freelance photographer who it found had manipulated two photographs from the ongoing fighting in Lebanon. In this photo, Reuters found that the photographer Adnan Hajj changed the image to show three flares being dropped by the plane, instead of just one, the agency said.
