My question is; which one was doctored? The top one with Hillary and the other lady in it or the bottom one without Hillary and the other lady?
It has become the defining image of the strike against Osama bin Laden: a group of top White House officials anxiously watching coverage of the assault on his compound from the Situation Room.
But Hillary Clinton appears to have pulled off a disappearing act worthy of the terrorist leader himself in an edited copy of the photograph published in an ultra-orthodox Jewish newspaper in New York last week.
The Hasidic newspaper, Der Tzitung (The Time), photoshopped out two women who featured in the image released by the White House - Ms Clinton, the US Secretary of state, and counter-terrorism analyst Audrey Tomasen.

The Brooklyn-based newspaper, which is written in Yiddish, is believed to have removed the women because of issues regarding female modesty.
According to the New York-based newspaper Jewish Week, which has picked up the story, Der Tzitung "will not intentionally include any images of women in the paper because it could be considered sexually suggestive”.
However Rabbi Jason Miller, writing in the Jewish Week, said he was at a loss to explain how Ms Clinton, who is pictured in a long-sleeved suit with her hand over her mouth, was being immodest.
"I'm not sure how Der Tzitung determined this was a racy photo. Perhaps they just don't like the idea of a woman with that much political power," he wrote.
