Busted!

There are some moments when collaborative journalism really does shine.

A commenter at Kos -- jem6x -- seems to have found the conclusive evidence that Howard Kaloogian's photograph of "Baghdad" is in a suburb of Istanbul.

Late Update: Okay, put a fork in him. This guy's done. Below I've taken the image of peaceful "Baghdad" which candidate Kaloogian posted on his website and said he himself took. Below that I added the image of the Istanbul suburb unearthed by the commenter on Kos's site. (The image is of the Istanbul suburb of Bakirkoy and comes originally from this site.)

As I've tried to note here with these arrows, this is at least a four point match.

Late Update: Howard Kaloogian's Baghdad bamboozlement should probably generate some renewed traffic to Howardisaliar.com.
