Markos and Tpm Muckraker report
1) Kaloogian posts photo on his website, alleging to show the "peaceful" Baghdad, Iraq, which now exists, but which has gone unreported by the terrorist lovers of the press.
2) Photo is proven to be Istanbul, Turkey, not Baghdad, Iraq.
3) Replacement photo of actual Baghdad is inscrutable long shot, devoid of any meaningful detail which might be employed as evidence to support any contention of peacefulness or the absence thereof.
4) Kaloogian concedes that "now" really means last July 2005, when the replacement photo was actually taken.
