Adnan Hajj IS An Editor?

It's possible there are two people with the same name, but Adnan Hajj is described as the Economic Editor of a Lebanese daily newspaper in this Christian Science Monitor article.

Adnan al-Hajj, economic editor for the daily newspaper As-Safir, said Israeli bombing has razed an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 homes, and left a much higher number in partial ruin. He put the cost of rebuilding those homes alone at $300 million, not including financial help to the inflated ranks of the homeless.

As-Safir appears to be an Arabic language daily. At right are two lovely pictures currently on their front web page.

Maybe they don't know how to convert them for the web. Or maybe he's free to photoshop all he wants at As-Safir. Geesh!

And Dan Riehl finds this 2004 complaint against Hajj:

Another morgue picture taken by the same photographer features a teenage brother and sister who were supposedly gunned -down by IDF troops. But an initial investigation indicates that their deaths were caused by an explosive device planted by the Palestinians. The photojournalists are a rather homogeneous bunch – hardly representative of an international press core. These are the names of the photographers and photojournalists from AP, Reuters and AFP who covered the action for the Palestinian side of the street in Gaza these past two weeks: Mohammed Salem, Suhaib Salem, Mohamed Azakir, Goran Tomasevic, Khalil Hamra, Adnan Hajj Ali, Nasser Nasser, Hussein Malla, Lefteris Pitarakis, Ahmed Khateib, Salah Malkawi, Abbas Momani, Said Khatib, Mohammed Abed, and Awad Awad.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…

The major drawback of a propaganda campaign, of course, is that,once it is uncovered, the credibility of those behind it is shot.

Update: Dan Riehl, compares two Hajj shoot – one of a guerilla and one of a fireman – and thinks the men are one and the same.

Over $100,000.00 per home? Bull. I've lived over here long enough to know that the average home is worth far less.

Adnan Al-Hajj is an economic editor. Adnan Hajj Ali is a photo journalist. I know both and they are both different people, if you cant make it up by the difference in their names well then good luck in your "big plot" and conspiracy theory.
And once again, you sit in your comfy chair at your desk. Throwing accusations left and right that people are staging these massacres to score some points over the Israeli PR machine. Seriously i can not really understand how people could be in the presence of death, respect the dead people it is in all religions.

Oye, I forgot what a real crackpot you are Dan.

So, you can ID some guy from a single photo by his pattern baldness, which doesn't look identifical to me....anything to discredit the idea that civilians are dying in Lebanon...this is your proof???

Yep, that's the ticket, the Israelis haven't really killed anyone in Lebanon, Hezbollah killed about 20 civilians and they are being carted around in a Hezbollah freezer, being restaged over and over again.....and the photographers are so DUMB they don't recognize its the same bodies over and over.

Honestly, what's next, the 14 year old dead and raped Iraqi girl was begging for a gang bang with some American soliders? The one who confessed just went all Manchurian Candidate, or our military beat it out of him? Oh wait, we don't do that so that must not be right.

What a fucking joke.

Evil wears many faces, among the most dangerous is that of the virtuous and righteous man.

looks like that first photo to the upper right on the as-safir website is actually an image of israeli bodies after a rocket attack......

i don't know what the website says, so i don't know if it is being objective about the conflict (by showing israeli casualties).......but these definitely don't appear to be lebanese bodies

"the Israelis haven't really killed anyone in Lebanon"

cnn.com reported last night that Lebanese PM declared "forty civilians killed" in Israeli air raid.

cnn.com reported early this a.m. that the "40" was adjusted down to "one".

Question: is this typical third-world exaggeration to evoke knee-jerk sympathies from the knee-jerk sympathizers? or are the "other 39" Hezbollah?

[ahem]

No, there's only one. It makes sense to exaggerate the figures in the first announcement. The retraction or correction is never as loud or as well-noticed.

Hey Nobody:

You're right. Those aren't Lebanese bodies - if they were they'd be on parade right now. Those bodies are covered up. Definitely not Lebanese.
