If I were in charge of the fate of this man, I wouldn't do anything until the original picture can be found and confirmed. It's all too easy to modify the picture and send it around the web, and it certainly doesn't take a master "Photoshoppist" to do it.

i'd have to say it's real; to me the biggest tip-off is the arabic at the bottom. i speak some arabic, i can confirm that it does indeed repeat the message on the sign. i find it unlikely that an arab speaker would go to the trouble to doctor a picture like this...
then again, this picture could be from a broadcast of the already doctored image. *shrug*.

How would the media over there find out about the photograph? Certainly Boudreaux didn't send it to them, I'd think. It must have been around the web for a while by that time. By then, any alteration could have been made to it. I can't believe such accusations are being made based on such easily manipulated "evidence." Until the original is found (there's a good chance it won't be if it was taken by a digital camera) everyone should hold their horses before jumping all over him and condemning him.
