I've seen another remarkable photo - of a politician just as was hit by an assassin's bullet. He was hit in the head and the spray of blood is clearly visible. Sorry can't remember the author.

The victim was positively indentified by a commrade in arms and his death during that battle has never been disputed. The only way it could've been staged is a staged suicide. ernie nitka At 09:13 AM 1/6/03 +0000, you wrote: >A Lie is a lie.
