在官场,位置很重要 Who’s leading? Obama or Mubarak?

——美国现在的头儿奥巴马和国务卿希拉里极力撮合以色列和巴勒斯坦的头头儿。

——这事儿大家都知道了,新闻里看过了。

——那这张照片你应当看过了吧。

——当然,印象中是美国白宫在9月1号公布的照片,表明美国政府牵头的以色列和巴权利当局参加的第一轮直接会谈已经开始。走在最前面的是美国总统奥巴马,他旁边是以色列总理内塔尼亚胡和巴权利机构总统阿巴斯,边上比较靠前的是约旦国王阿卜杜拉二世,边上走在最后面的是埃及总统穆巴拉克。

——你说的没错。我再给你看一张照片。

——咦?这张照片中穆巴拉克走在最前面,领着奥巴马等人。这照片哪里来的?

——我听说是埃及报纸 Al-Ahram 上个星期二(9月14日)刊登的照片。

——你就知道这么多?

——我还听说,把照片造假捅出来的是Wael Khalil,美国的CNN为这事采访过他。另有消息说Al-Aharm是埃及政府的喉舌报纸,照片的事情被捅出来后,Al-Ahram的编辑Osama Saraya被抓了个”现行”,于是在星期五的报纸上发文为自己辩护,说修改后的照片体现了穆巴拉克总统在中东谈判进程中的”历史性角色”。

——真的假的呀?这是不是谣传呀?

——你要是既懂英语又懂阿拉伯语的话,应该是比我更好的人选来核实着报道的真假。我注意到这件事情在网上也有中文的报道,你可以用”埃及报纸PS照片,本国总统领头奥巴马靠边”来搜索。对了,我在中文的报道中看到那份埃及报纸Al-Ahram是《金字塔报》。
