A Jihad Watch reader has written an open letter asking AP, Reuters, and AFP to provide technical data that may settle the Qana Photographs controversy:
Jihad Watch—The Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France-Presse all distributed photos of which questions have been asked relative to the time shot. What Lyon of AP does not address, is that the exact time of digital capture is recorded along with the image. This EXIF information cannot be altered, and would give accurate timings as to the sequence of all photos released.
We urge AFP, AP, and Reuters to make available to this website a small JPEG file, with all EXIF data attached, of each of the photos analyzed on the various websites that have raised this issue. A list will be provided if they are not already known. Sensitive IPTC data may be removed, if any responding agency wishes. The EXIF is the only important data.
The actual capture times, between photos of all agencies, would then be made a public record — chips falling where they may. …
Looks like it’s come clean time for AP, Reuters, and AFP.
