Yeah, a narrow wedge of "crowd" covering exactly the camera's field of
view.  There's a picture from a high angle opposite the "official"
camera's position that shows the empty square.  I seem to recall that a
lot of the same faces were also spotted in other publicity photos
showing the happy Iraqis greeting their Amerikan liberators.

Damn that Internet.  If people ever start paying attention, it will be
hard for a propagandist to earn an honest living.  Fortunately, there's
no risk of THAT happening.
