About That Grainy Footage
September 6, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui
Here’s what I don’t understand: You can fit an HD Camera with amazing video quality inside a tiny iPhone, and yet video footage that comes out from multi million dollar unmanned spy planes looks as if it was shot using 20-year-old video cameras.
Why do they do that? Is it to keep some espionage intrigue alive? Do they want to keep strategic ambiguity to allow creative discretion by the intelligence gatekeepers? I don’t get it.
The bottom line is: Even if the Shehabiyeh footage is indeed authentic, it can still be credibly disputed as doctored by the Lebanese.
