Photo manipulation and ethics

A. Some of the main points in the website regarding photo manipulation are anyone can edit or touch up a photo in a matter of seconds, where as before it used to take hours. The article says that "Any technique that can alter the original scene or image captured by the camera is considered unethical".
B. The philosophy of newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York Times regarding image manipulation is that they provide their photographers with strict guidelines on how to shoot and edit their photographs, such as: "No colors will be altered from the original scene photographed".
C. Acceptable things you could do to an image (i think) and not cross the line unto an unethical manipulation are cropping something that isn't as important out of the picture, or adding a little bit of color.

On April 8, 2009, four Somali pirates (Barkhad Abdi, Faysal Ahmed, Mahat M. Ali, and Barkhad Abdirahman Bilal), armed with guns, hijacked the ship. Having received training on this very situation earlier, 15 crew members hid in a secure room and the rest of the crew that wasn’t in the room, fired flares. The pirates took 2 crew members hostage in an attempt to get the crew to give them money and supplies. They went to look for the rest of the crew and one of the pirates cut his foot on glass the crew members had left out on purpose. The crew took the lead pirate hostage in order to attempt a negotiation but the rest of the pirates took Captain Phillips (Tom Hanks) hostage. In response, the crew alerts the Navy (Max Martini, and Rey Hernandez). The theme of the story is things happen. The setting of the movie is present day, give or take a few ...
