Reminds me of when a Brazilian paper ran a photo of Henry Kissinger picking his nose followed by one of him nibbling on the prize with a straight caption that read something like "Henry Kissinger speaking at a conference yesterday in Rio." A few years later, Ken Silverstein ran the photos in Counterpunch when he was editing it. Kissinger's lawyers called to make threatening noises, but they were powerless to do anything.
