OT: UK Iraq Abuse Pics "Fakes" - Editor sacked over 'hoax' pictures. |

Editor sacked over 'hoax' pictures
Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan is sacked following pressure over
faked photos of soldiers abusing an Iraqi prisoner.
The Queen's Lancashire Regiment earlier told a press conference the
Mirror had to apologise for running the pictures and endangering
British troops.
A statement from the Mirror said it had fallen victim to a "calculated
and malicious hoax". The Mirror board said it would be "inappropriate"
for Morgan to continue.
Speaking to journalists on Friday morning, Morgan had been bullish,
saying he would not resign.
But in a news conference in Preston on Friday afternoon, the regiment
demonstrated to reporters the aspects of uniform and equipment which
it said proved the photographs were fake.
Colonel Black, a former regiment commander, said the pictures put
lives in danger and acted as a "recruiting poster" for al-Qaeda.
The regiment's Brigadier Geoff Sheldon said the vehicle featured in
the photographs had been located in a Territorial Army base in
Lancashire and had never been in Iraq.
He said the QLR's reputation had been damaged by the Mirror and asked
the newspaper to apologise because the evidence they were staged was
"overwhelming".
Good faith
Morgan will be replaced on a temporary basis by his deputy, Des Kelly.
The newspaper released a statement saying: "The Daily Mirror published
in good faith photographs which it absolutely believed were genuine
images of British soldiers abusing an Iraqi prisoner.
"However there is now sufficient evidence to suggest that these
pictures are fakes and that the Daily Mirror has been the subject of a
calculated and malicious hoax.
"The Daily Mirror therefore apologises unreservedly for publishing the
pictures and deeply regrets the reputational damage done to the QLR
and the Army in Iraq.
"The paper will continue to cooperate fully with the investigation.
"The board of Trinity Mirror has decided that it would be
inappropriate for Piers Morgan to continue in his role as editor of
the Daily Mirror and he will therefore be stepping down with immediate
effect."

Only if it upsets the government, unfortunately. We've still got Blair in
power.
Mind you, it sounds like he'll be getting the push soon. Fingers crossed!

"The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious,
of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society
highly values its normal man.It educates children to lose themselves
and to become absurd,and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed
perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years."

Government? ***** that, he made a newspaper look bad. Far worse than
upsetting the government.
Mind you, it sounds like he'll be getting the push soon. Fingers crossed!
Thing is, in all other areas Blair has done rather well. It's only
because the British government is practically married to the US, that
we got sucked into this war.
I swear that it's only when the US shits that we get to see daylight.
(-: Ian :-)
btw: There's no need for the scare quotes, the pictures are forgeries
and obviously so.
