Researcher’s Analysis of al Qaeda Images Reveals Surprises — Kim Zetter, Threat Level Blog on WIRED

“…But more interesting were the examples Krawetz gave of al Qaeda images. Krawetz took an image from a 2006 al Qaeda video of Ayman al-Zawahiri (above right), a senior member of the terrorist organization. The image shows al-Zawahiri sitting in front of a desk and banner with writing on it. But after conducting his error analysis Krawetz was able to determine that al-Zawahiri’s image was superimposed in front of the background — and was most likely videotaped in front of a black sheet.
Krawetz was also able to determine that the writing on the banner behind al-Zawahiri’s head was added to the image afterward. In the second picture above showing the results of the error level analysis, the light clusters on the image indicate areas of the image that were added or changed…”

Narrow focus draws ‘PG’ rating for Baptist-backed film – Terry Mattingly, Scripps Howard News Service

Ben — Thu, 08 Jun 2006 00:33:33 +0000

This movie was rated “PG” for “Promotes God”. The MPAA wants to keep innocent little kids from being accidentally converted to Christianity, I guess. They might want to obey their parents, love their brothers and sisters and respect their neighbors, but who wants that, really?

Hate at the Movies. – Michael Novak, NRO

“The Da Vinci Code will not exactly be stating any new thesis that secular people don’t already accept. What it may succeed in doing, however, is to make dramatically manifest the silliness, madness, and love of illusion in what being secular means, at least to these film makers. It is for this reason, perhaps, that so many secular critics have found this movie repellent. Although it seeks to mock Christians and Jews, it actually makes a purely secular view seem absolutely batty. In short, there is enough in this film to offend everybody.”
