'A Rose in the Desert' disappears

[CWyatt]

A very interesting article about the a Vogue story on Asma al-Assad being 'scrubbed' from the net with a twist:
Although the Vogue piece didn’t mention it, the photos that accompanied the article — of Asma al-Assad, her husband and two of their children at home in Damascus — were facilitated by an American public-relations firm working for the Syrian government. The firm, Brown Lloyd James, was paid $25,000 to set up a photo session with James Nachtwey, the famed war photographer who shot the pictures for Vogue.

Hehehe. Funny how they did some family shots with her 'kids', but they were supposedbly ring-ins due to 'security concerns'.
