Boston Globe Publishes Fake Iraq Porn Photos |

Globe caught with pants down: Paper duped into running porn photos
By Herald staff
The Boston Globe was reeling yesterday after graphic photos of alleged
sexual abuse of Iraqi women by U.S. soldiers turned out to be staged
shots from a hardcore porn Web site.
"This photo should not have appeared in the Globe," editor Martin
Baron said in a statement. "First, images portrayed in the photo were
overly graphic. Second, as the story clearly pointed out, those images
were never authenticated as photos of prisoner abuse. There was a
lapse in judgment and procedures, and we apologize for it."
The "lapse" came after City Councilor Chuck Turner and perennial
pot-stirrer Sadiki Kambon called a press conference in the wake of the
Abu Ghraib prison scandal to display more purported abuse photos.
Turner claimed they came from "a very legitimate person" but admitted
they hadn't been authenticated. Kambon said he got them from a
representative of the Nation of Islam. Neither Turner nor Kambon
returned calls.
But yesterday, WorldNetDaily.com reported the pictures -- which show
hard-core sex acts and genitalia -- came from a pornographic site.
The Globe ran a picture of Turner and Kambon displaying the images. In
a large shot in the paper's early editions, pornographic details are
clearly visible. In later editions, the photograph was reduced, making
the images slightly more obscure. A number of news outlets --
including the Herald and The Associated Press -- attended the
conference but did not run a story after determining the photos were
highly suspicious.
The issue reportedly was the subject of much Globe newsroom debate.
According to WorldNetDaily, Globe reporter Donovan Slack did not
approve of the photos being published but they were OK'd by "three
Boston Globe editors."
Her story did note the pictures "bear no characteristics that would
prove the men are US soldiers or that the women are Iraqis."
Slack told the Herald she had "no comment," then hung up. But she is
quoted on the Web site saying she was "surprised" the Globe decided to
run the story.
"It's insane," Slack said. "Can you imagine getting this with your cup
of coffee in the morning? Somehow it got through all our checks. Our
publisher's not having a very good day today."
Later she quips, "I'll be working at Penthouse soon!" The president of
the Globe's parent New York Times reportedly is "furious."

LOL. Good news for the Republicans. The Globe seems to have
become intoxicated with its practice of Bush-bashing, blundering
badly in consequence.
Turner claimed they came from "a very legitimate person" but admitted
they hadn't been authenticated. Kambon said he got them from a
representative of the Nation of Islam. Neither Turner nor Kambon
returned calls.
Nation of Islam is a black racist separatist group, noted for its
practice of recruiting criminals from prisons. I hope it
turns out to be true that NoI is the source of these photos.

I wonder what them calling themselves a nation has to do with felons not
being allowed to vote. I have a problem with both sides of that.

Imagine that: an organization that admits when it's wrong.
We're all humans. We're all wrong sometimes. Just some of us have the balls
to admit it.

This was more than a single human error. It

It doesn't matter. Admitting being human is the right way to handle things.
It's stupid to do otherwise. It's short sighted to do otherwise. It's wrong
to do otherwise.

I didn't say "single human error," I said "wrong."
They admitted they were wrong.
When will Bush EVER do that?
Oh, and here's that part YOU DELETED from my post when replying. What that a
"single human error" or was it wrong to edit what I posted to change its
meaning? Isn't that much like "sticking political bias into hard news?"

Bush is definitely a better comedian than president.
Not that the difference between politician and comedian is that much of
