NOON -- At the U.N.'s 2005 World Summit yesterday, a Reuters photog snapped a closeup of President Bush writing a note to Condi Rice.

Or was it:



In response to widespread speculation that it was a fake, a Reuters spokesman explained that the photo was picked because it "went beyond the stock pictures of talking heads that these kind of forums usually offer."

That it does. But it also leaves many pressing questions unresolved, such as: Was it No.1 or No. 2?

Mr. President, Red Panda demands answers.
