Here's what we know/can prove without a doubt.
1. Mrs. Tweeden submitted this file to her station and had it inserted into her article accusing Mr. Franken.
2. Her allegation about the photo is that it was taken without her knowledge on Christmas Eve 2006 during a 36 hour flight home at the end of the tour.
3. The photo has metadata stating it was a .jpg created with a Nikon D2H camera (the kind used by Combat Camera, USO photogs). The jpg was created on 12/21/06 at 17:19 PM (Assuming PST).
4. Metadata regarding creation date can be modified in Photoshop.
Metadata regarding 'Last Modified' indicates it was last modified on July 1st 2009 at 22:30 PM - the date Mr. Franken became a Senator - by a copy of Adobe Photoshop 7.
5. What was modified or altered? My guess is that it was metadata regarding photographer's ID - so they can't be approached and asked to verify the account of criminal fondling. But we can't be sure without the Photographer weighing in.
6. Other photos were taken of that tour aboard their C-17.
Note Al's wearing the same shirt. And people aren't in jumpseats in flaks and helmets. They're in the celebrity seating area. Far more comfortable.
Side note: I can't get ANY good info on this pic's metadata. It's from AndyGoesToIraq's blog (I think?) . I don't know that its possible to determine WHEN this last photo was taken, but if it was the 21st, we can prove that this whole thing is hogshit.
7. Mrs. Tweeden alleges that she was given the CD containing this file and many others from the tour by the person who took the photo.
We're expected to believe that someone risked their career for a horrible, sexist prank and they HAND the proof to the victim?

Really.
So - we know it's a file that was modified when Al became a Senator. It was created before Christmas Eve, when Mrs. Tweeden alleges that Al groped her. We don't know who the photographer is (#FindthePhotographer).
