war cat [UPDATED]

Has everybody seen this? I've felt a little out of the Internet loop lately, so apologies if I'm the guy who's like, "Hey, check out this hilarious double-rainbow video," but just in case—

The New York Times had a little thing about how some fucking religious misogynist douchebag–morons (who won't publish pictures of women for "moral" reasons) simply erased Hillary Clinton and Background Girl from that amazing Osama bin Laden war-room photo that by now probably everyone has seen. However, the person who threw the thing up (Krugman, I guess?) used, to illustrate the change, an also altered version of the original photo. Check it out:

(Thanks to "dheck" in Ohio, whose comment on the Times web site called my attention it it. Also, BIATRIS.)

[UPDATE: Noticed that the Slate link given is very specifically a joke "Cats of War" feature—so Krugman's being either a little playful or very careless.]
