A friend e-mails:

Adnan Hajj’s photos are still on the wire, including this one which raises some questions from the cynic in me. The caption reads: “A Lebanese man runs away from the burning ruins of a building destroyed during an overnight Israeli air raid on Beirut’s suburbs August 5,2006. Many buildings were flattened during the attack. REUTERS/Adnan Hajj” Okay, makes sense for someone to run from a burning building that’s just been attacked. But the destruction came from “an overnight” air raid. But the picture, clearly, was taken during daylight hours. The picture and caption could lead one to believe that the guy in the picture was running from the attack, but he’s clean, that attack took place at least a few hours before the photo, and it’s a multi-story building but he’s the only guy running away. The caption could just have easily been “A Lebanese man leaves the scene of a burning building, but we don’t know why he was there or what he was doing.
