Qana: Fraud of the year?

Looks like one of the disputed Qana photographs has been recognized as one of the REUTERS Photos of the Year (2006) (yeesh, how did I miss that story?).

Mentions of the controversy surrounding the photograph? Not so much.

Is this the new accountability that Reuters is aiming for?

Question for the readers: What do you think Richard's first reaction was to this?

;-)

Rusty has some excellent commentary on this story as well.
