Photo Manipulation and ethics

The main points of the story is about how digital manipulation, or cloning. It tells how people use it to create another picture making others believe or think a different story to the real one. Digital manipulation can get you in to trouble believe it or not. Digital manipulation isn't limited to the Middle East.  

This type of editing is unethical because you are taking credit for someones work. He's making the audience or reader think it  is his work but he just took it from someone else's.
