Photoshopped image puts Mubarak ahead

State-run Al-Ahram newspaper on Tuesday published a doctored photo of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak leading US president Barack Obama, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Jordanian monarch Abdullah II as they walked together while meeting in Washington for the launch of renewed peace talks earlier this month.
The original photo, which was published by Reuters on 3 September, shows President Mubarak walking at the rear of his counterparts and peace-talk co-sponsors.
Al-Ahram published the manipulated image on the first day of the second round of talks held in Egypt’s Sharm al-Sheikh.
Samy Abdel Aziz, dean of the faculty of mass communication at Cairo University, said the president's perceived importance should not be affected by his position in a photo. “Formal aspects do not add to realities,” he said.

it looks like he is trying to make himself a dictator. LIKE ADOLF HITLER). HE NOW IS RESPONSABLE FOR KILLING ALL OF THOSE DEMONSTRATORS. HE SHOULD BE TRIED IN (CRIMINAL COURT OF JUSTICE ) ,BY A JURY OF THE DEMONSTRATORS,AND BE SENTENCED TO FIFTY YEARS IN A MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON WITHOUT AN EARLY REALEASE. AND BE GIVEN ONLY TWO MEALS A DAY,CONSISTING OF FISH ,BREAD AND WATER.
What a pitiful disgrace but not surprising!
This is typical of the egyptian mentality. They could not stand their president walking behind a black man even if he's the president of the United States. I go to egypt often and I hate way they treat us in racist manner yet, bow down to white people. At the airport, you present your british passport. The next stupid question that comes from their racist mouth is? what's your original nationality. I've travelled all over the world-and the only place I get asked that question every where I turn is in Egypt. Racist people.
Al-Ahram ???!!!!

This is just to show how Egypt after 30 Years; Even our largest and biggest NEWS Paper; make such Stupide and Foolish Mistake
