Reutersgate2: Ghouls - Bodies Allegedly Exhumed For Display to Photographers

Change font size:  A |  A

From little green footballs; a person identifying himself as freelance photographer Bryan Denton claims to have witnessed the exhumation of bodies for use in staged photographs. The photographer made the claim in the photographer's web forum, Lightstalkers; excerpt of post [emphasis added]:

...one case where a group of wire photogs were choreographing the unearthing of bodies, directing emergency workers here and there, asking them to position bodies just so, even remove bodies that have already been put in graves so that they can photograph them in peoples arms.

The poster was challenged by other posters in the forum, but refused to back off from the original allegation and added that it was not an isolated incident.

 Ace of Spades, who has been following the story closely, reports that Bryan Denton, whose work has appeared in the New York Times, is a registered user of the Lightstalker forum who has a bio page there.

Allahpundit at Hot Air is also on the case, and has posted wire service pictures from the town in which Denton said the exhumations had occurred.
