Brad Blog points us to an interesting little coinkidink (read: LIE). Apparently, CNN, the government, or both are lying, incompetent, or both. Why? The photos of a nuke plant in N. Korea and of one in Iran are of the SAME PLANT.

So, as Brad points out quite well, we need to find out who the source of these photos was and, if they are lying, did they really think they could pull it off?
UPDATE: Looks like CNN replaced their N. Korean plant photo with the (maybe?) correct one:

The thing that still worries me? They haven't posted ANY sort of retraction!
"There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination. You believed that you had actually held it in your hands. It was a photograph something like this."
An oblong slip of newspaper had appeared between O'Brien's fingers. For perhaps five seconds it was within the angle of Winston's vision. It was a photograph, and there was no question of its identity. It was the photograph. It was another copy of the photograph of Jones, Aaronson, and Rutherford at the party function in New York, which he had chanced upon eleven years ago and promptly destroyed. For only an instant it was before his eyes, then it was out of sight again. But he had seen it, unquestionably he had seen it!
"It exists!" he cried.
"'No," said O'Brien.
He stepped across the room. There was a memory hole in the opposite wall. O'Brien lifted the grating. Unseen, the frail slip of paper was whirling away on the current of warm air; it was vanishing in a flash of flame. O'Brien turned away from the wall.
"Ashes," he said. "Not even identifiable ashes. Dust. It does not exist. It never existed."
"But it did exist! It does exist! It exists in memory. I remember it. You remember it!"
"I do not remember it," said O'Brien.
