First the BBC, then the Mirror. The war on Iraq was worth it for this alone

[dandelion]

Nope, nope, that's a misprint: it SHOULD read "SORRY, WE WERE STUPID"...

[BlessedByLiberty]

Could we further your list with America's Yellow Rags: NY Slimes, Boston Globe and SF Chronicle

[snooker]

And the Boston Globe, who let their hate for Bush cloud their judgment and besmirch the name of the US and the Army that serves??????

[SevenofNine]

WOW What going on with Fleet Street they have same problems as NY Times and Beantown globe

"humiliating climbdown"...."sacking"..there's something to be said for the mother tongue, eh?..the phrases roll mellifluously off the tongue...thoguh, i'd hope to have read that the editor got himself "gobsmacked"

The B.B.C. is reporting that Piers Morgan was asked to issue an appology, he refused, and was then sacked and escorted from the building.

I do not like to see anybody's career lie in tatters on the ground, but I find it impossible to have any sympathy for this man who, for several years, I have regarded as similar to pond slime. The fact that his actions made the mission of Her Majesty's Forces in Iraq much more difficult merely adds to his shame.

Any trial lawyer knows that if you can get a lie in front of the jury..even if its objected to and sustained..the lie sits in their minds and will influence the decision later. They knew what they were doing and did it deliberately. The apology is mere Barbra Striesand!

Hoaxed my foot. I think the Mirror knew the photos weren't genuine when they printed them. If there was a ''hoax'', the perp was the Mirror (and that may be the real reason Morgan got sacked.)
