The BBC recently reported on a US military release of outtakes that occured during the making of a propeganda film by terrorist Zarqawi. In these outtakes Zarqawi can't figure out how to unjam his gun and one of his subordinates trying to help him burns himself by grabbing the hot barrel.

Funny stuff...
Then I looked at the two pictures and now it has me wondering. At least three things stick out as odd. First, why is the second picture so blurry? Second, it is obviously in a completely different location...look at the background. Finally, where did his watch (or whatever it is) go? It also looks to me like the masked guy is purposfully standing out of the way of the camera, which seems an unlikely consideration given the situation.
Is the US military lying to try and discredit this guy? If so, damn that could really backfire...
Anyone know where the actual video is? I would like to see both. There are several possible explainations including that the footage is from different days...but that isn't how it is being described.
Makes you wonder...makes me wonder at least.
