Zarqawi pictures

CNN does not explain how they got the pictures. Notes how relaxed he seems and that crap.

The pictures CNN posted are too dark. I filtered them through 1.7 gama correction.

My version's a further fiddle, with more gamma correction and screwing with the contrast.

#11  Good, now we have a fresh picture of him. Those old photos could be very misleading.

#7  So why were these photos released? Is this an attempt by Zarqawi to reassure his followers that he's safe and healthy? Since they don't seem to have been accompanied by a message I'm a little puzzled by this.

#6  Fred - just trying to lower Rantburg to MSM journalistic standards. No need for thanks.

#4  PS. That was sarcasm; I have no proof that Eason Jordan hosted a BBQ for Zarqawi. On the other hand, I have no proof that he didn't!

#3  Unfortunately CNN left out the context, I'll supply it: Pictures were taken at BBQ hosted by Eason Jordan (not shown) last month.
