Der Tzitung [The Time] used photoshop to cut Hillary Clinton and Audrey Thomason out of that iconic Situation Room picture. Forgive me for asking this, but here we are in 2011 with Clinton being only one of many women in places of power all over the world, and a Hasidic newspaper feels it's ok to cut them out? Does anyone else find this absurd?
I cant help but think they discussed removing Obama from the same picture. Why print it at all if it was so offensive? Doesn't the White House specify no altering of issued photos when releasing them?
Thoughts?

It's not the first time. There was another picture of Hillary with some rabbis in a kitchen, where there was a reflective steel table. I forget which publication. She was photoshopped out of the picture, but they left the fuzzy reflection of her bright-red dress on the tabletop
There is no Halacha that I am aware of that would be violated by printing the original picture showing the two ladies. So what EXACTLY is the point that these non-Jewish imposters are trying to make by deleting their images? Will the US Government sue them for breach of the distribution conditions?
Whilst the Charedim largely lack useful skills, it may be that they have a person specially trained in computer graphics to manipulate pictures of this kind, and, more importantly, use these same skills to forge documents for the purpose of welfare fraud etc..
