Fake or Photo?

"Can you tell?

Fake or Foto? The Challenge...
Take a reality check...

Today we're presented with images in movies, on TV and in the press that are of such good quality we don't even think to consider whether the picture is of something that exists in reality or if it was generated by computer software. Of course, the right tools combined with the skills of computer graphics (CG) artists are central to the final result. The movie “Final Fantasy” can be considered as being at the high-end of the range of uses for CG imagery, but there are many more day-to-day examples that challenge our ability to tell what's taken from life and what's given from the mind."

Ministers reject Iraq terror link

BBC NEWS | "Senior Cabinet ministers have rejected a report's claims that supporting the invasion of Iraq put the UK more at risk from terrorist attack.

The Chatham House and Economic and Social Research Council paper says the Iraq war has boosted al-Qaeda.

UK involvement in operations against Osama Bin Laden's network has also raised the attack risk, it adds.

But Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and Defence Secretary John Reid said there had also been attacks before the war.

The report, which comes less than two weeks after the London Tube and bus bombings, said the UK's anti-terrorist efforts had been focused on Northern Ireland."

After the first chock, evertbody is silent. Then comes the outcry, them comes the webite www.werenotafraid.com.

Werenotafraid.com exists to give people a voice online to tell the world that they are not afraid, intimidated or cowed by the cowardly act of terrorism. Terrorism will not be effective against the British people, and it won’t be effective anywhere else.

By saying we are not afraid, we are really saying that although we have lost people, friends, fathers, mothers sisters, we will not become afraid to live as we see fit, to make our own moral judgements, to live good lives, and love each other.
