Cuba - Photoshopping Castro? Castrogate?

In the wake of Reutersgate, we will see more captions like these?

This is one of four photographs published Sunday Aug. 13, 2006 by Cuba's Communist Youth newspaper's online edition Juventud Rebelde proporting to show The first photographs of Fidel Castro since his illness two weeks ago. Castro holds a copy of the Saturday Aug. 12, 2006 edition of Granma, the Communist Party newspaper. The headline reads "Absolved by history." The Associated Press cannot verify the authenticity or the date when these photographs were shot. (AP Photo/HO)


UPDATE

The plot thickens. No wonder AP ran the disclaimer on the photo.

Ok blogshpere, go to it. Real or fake?

Charles isn't so sure.
