Nuclear Iran Powered by Open Source Software



A New York Times Blog entry calls attention to an "apparently digitally altered" picture of Iran's missile launch test. Comparing the picture above with the picture below, you can see that a fourth missile was added.



Their analysis of the image (below) suggests that it was digitally altered Photoshopped GIMPed (obviously, no self-respecting Iranian spin doctor would use software from the evil American-based Adobe Systems).



Of course there is not one shred of evidence that they used GIMP (the GNU Image Manipulation Program), but hey, everyone's been making things up and I wouldn't want to be the only one concerned with actual facts so here is my contribution to this big fat web of lies: GIMP!
