A Missile Too Far

The Iranian News Agency is known to be a little free with their facts. I had a post some time back about an article that purported to tell the world how tough their air force was, but included a photo not of Iranian Air Force planes, but of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. Today there's word that the Iranians played a little Photoshop with a picture that purported to show four missiles being launched during their recent war games. One of the missiles was faked, apparently to cover up for a missile that failed during the test.

The photo was run on the front pages of many of the major newspapers, and today those papers are having to retract the photo and run corrections. It's an interesting story and you can read it here.
