Dear Mark Phillips,<br><br>I find it unfortunate people have suggested you doctored the photo with the alleged "face of Satan" in the smoke following the World Trade Center attack. I am sure you are aware of the CNN photo (or was it a still from the video?), in which the face appeared more clearly. That image has been pulled, but you might also be interested in another photo:<br><br>http://us.news2.yimg.com/f/42/31/7m/dailynews.yahoo.com/h/p/ap/20010912/us/1000270087terrorist_attacks_lr207.html <br><br>That's at least three photos, in addition to the video you mention on your web site, which would imply coordination between a number of people to create a hoax. Hey, once in a while clouds look like tigers, birds, or whatevers. Why is it so strange for the smoke from some explosion to look like a face? As humans, we are designed to see faces because of the survival value inherent in such an ability. What amazes me is that people have a hard time accepting that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. <br><br>Regards,<br><br>Zoran Kurtovic<br><br><br>__________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?
