The editor of a top US current affairs magazine has vowed to send an apology letter to John McCain after a photographer he hired to carry out a photo shoot with the Republican presidential candidate doctored images to portray him as bloodthirsty — literally. Atlantic Monthly editor James Bennet says Jill Greenberg "behaved improperly" and will not be paid for the session, but has come under fire for hiring the well-known critic of President George W Bush to carry out the shoot.
Greenberg took several moody back-lit pictures of McCain that she later superimposed with a shark's mouth dripping blood.
She captioned one "I am a bloodthirsty warmongerer" and another "I will have my girl kill Roe v Wade", reference to running mate Sarah Palin's anti-abortion stance, and posted them on her website.
"She has violated the terms of our agreement with her, of our contract with her so we're taking steps," he told Fox News.
"I mean, this photographer went in there under our auspices to take a cover shot for us … but while she was there she behaved in an incredibly underhanded and unprofessional way."
But Bennet has come under fire for not checking the photographer's credentials.
Greenberg came to prominence in 2004 for her photographic exhibition "Four More Years", where she displayed toddlers apparently crying at the prospect of a second Bush presidential term.
She later admitted making the toddlers cry to get the visual effect.
Greenberg also claimed she doctored the image used by the magazine on its cover to make McCain's skin and eyes look bad, but Bennet stands by the image choice.

As a general rule US Politics is not usually entertained, as it is beyond the scope of this blog, BUT the temptation of this article proved too great to resist.
McCain has the (Anglo-Masonic) makeup , and the Warmongering (Many documents now reveal that, Bush's family financed the Nazi's in Germany, together with banks like J.P Morgan) attitude to be the next leader. Obama has a 1 in 5 chance of making it, this time around.
It has been proven that Bush obtained power fraudulently, yet there is nothing ANYONE can do.
He is part of a global military and economic oppressive power (dictatorship). Amongst other things, it is a government that supports the production and distribution of drugs in Afghanistan, via Military channels.
The rights of the citizen of the U.S. are being eroded away, and forcing them into slavery, via the new ACTS. The current constitution will be changed in the years to come, to the detriment of the people.
