'Security Square.' The hole in the ground pictured below is where their media relations office once stood."

Kate !! One can only dream on wings of imagination, elevated into fancy, believing that in an alternate universe. These where once the headquarters of the CBC.

In reality I hope no one was killed, but I shed no tears for the scurvy bunch of crows.

I feel no such tenderness for the terrorist instigators.

"The Israeli Air Force dropped leaflets over the neighborhood warning residents to get out of the way of the incoming air strikes. Many times more people would have been killed if they hadn’t done this."

This statement reminds me again how the Israelis and the Americans and even the Canadians in Afghanistan fight with such different standards than their opponents. Yet from reading the MSM you would think we were the savages and the ones who strap bombs to their children are the noble victims.

the trick to clandestine photos is NEVER HOLD THE FRIGGIN CAMERA TO YOUR EYE.

stick with maybe a 35 mm lens (one notch towards the wide angle end of the spectrum) and bracket (vary the exposure settings) if you must as well as panning and clicking as you go.

you can do it with the camera hanging on the strap. or poking out your jacket if you must with a cable release in your pocket.

ask me how I know all this.

above all, remember the ONLY 'thing' people hold to their face and drop down and peer and hold to their face again is a blood camera and there are places you do NOT want bystanders knowing a block away that pictures are being taken.

Gee,

from reading this site, i woulda thought that the whole Israel bombardment had been photo-shopped.

i think i get it now: when you want to claim that Israel is peaceful, you believe that the illegal bombardment never happened, ... when you want to revel in the destruction delivered to Hezbollah, you believe something else.

It's a nice little world you've created for yourselves, ... though a trifle incoherent.

[And deluded.]

[And disgusting.]

Isnt that the same building that the poor woman lost in the pics from the green helmut guy?

The physical damage is one aspect, but not all of it.

When the war is discussed by people in Lebanon directly affected by the conflict

- Israel will be the government that bombed them
- Lebanon will be the government that ignored them
- and Hezbollah will be the people who helped them.

Hezbollah won because they were johhny-on-the-spot with compensation and assistance for those who lost homes and lives, when nobody else was.

I'm thinking that it's really too bad that there are so many buildings left......sorta...standing.

I used to use a rollei with a super quiet shutter.

have the SLR on the outside being obvious and keep the finger on the shutter button of the little range finder hidden in my palm always loaded with high speed film.

"Muslim political and religious leaders must fight to take back our religion from vocal, violent, and ignorant extremists who have tried to hijack Islam over the last 100 years. They do not speak for Islam any more than a Christian terrorist speaks for Christianity. At one time or another, all religions have faced extremists who abuse the power of faith."

Enemy headquarters should be taken out by the civilized world, these trifling regional battles are a waste of time and resources.
