Disappointed me as well, but hard to be surprised at this point.

While I don't think its manufactured in the sense that it probably happened (gross mouth kiss thing); I do think the timing of a CD with this image showing up on her doorstep is quite fortuitous for some.  She still has all the right and responsibility to go public with the story, but it seems like a grand distraction to much more egregious actions of others.  

Call me crazy, but I don't think groping someone is best done in front of a camera with a smile on your face.  I take the picture as a terrible joke in front of the troops.  The optics are sub-optimal in the current climate.
