Did the New York Times Fall for Obviously Faked Photos of the Syrian Civil War?

Did the New York Times use obviously falsified photos on its front page? I think so. Look at the case laid out by David Steinberg, who noticed the strange pictures of the Syrian civil war, and myself, here. For those who know about Muhammad Dura case--in which Israeli soldiers allegedly shot a boy in Gaza in cold blood--which attracted international credibility and anger, these photos seem to be modeled on that falsification to a remarkable extent.
