The pictures in this feature were removed after questions were raised about whether they had been digitally altered.

That's disappointing.

Me too. I get the point though.

It's a pity if they were digital creations rather than actual captures though. I don't like invented photos.

They looked real enough to me, Im not sure what could have been done to alter them.

The reputation of the New York Times continues to drop in my mind. I'm waiting for an Enquirer style headline that Bush is bat boy.

There wasn't anything that was too outlandish in those pics to me to make me think they would have been altered. Weird.

I don't see why. They apparently pulled the shots based on the possibility that they had been "digitally altered" when they were called into question. They paid a photographer for a photo essay and if he created the images rather than taking them, then it's on him.

At this point we still don't know why they were taken down anyway.
