On the photo he seems to look straight and his face looks really mean. As if he is judging everything and everyone. But comparations, made after attempts to restore the picture to a "pre-JPEG" status and made between Red, Green and Blue channel, it seems that there is sharp differences at the eyes nose and mouth.
The tool made this difference more remarkable at Red Channel: the protrait is generally blurred at the face, it seems that he is looking a little bit out of the camera, to the left of it, the lips seem about to open and his general view is of a stressed guy. There, he looks "lost" to the posing.
Even before processing the line of the mouth seems too pushed. Did Adnan Hajj replaced "stressed Green Helmet" for "judging Green Helmet"? Quite possible.
For now it is hard to state this as strong evidence that the picture was doctored. To get a strong conclusion, one has to go through the very details of the algorithm. Frankly I experimented with a fresh new program and was more worried at cleaning out the noise to see how much the picture could have been reworked. Much less I tried to "reget" the original. In fact I don't think it is possible to restore it as we have only low-quality copies.
Anyway the result was that the picture carries strong differences between channels. Too strong to consider them "natural".
