Well, now who's gonna sue whom?
So, somebody tell me what's going to be the bottom line here? The fact that these photos were bogus has not been flooding the news networks; not even Fox News.
Has Councilor Turner apologized or is that something liberals expect only Bush and Rumsfeld to do?
These libs make me ill nearly to the point of nausea. If the newspaper had any professional standards someone would get fired.
What do liberal organizations and the government have in common? No personal responsibility. No one ever loses their job or gets penalized for a major screw up.
I saw one quick report about the Globe's retraction on a cable network, and they showed a very quick portion of one of the photos in question. I think the "soldiers" in the photo were wearing green BDUs. I was like "WTF??"

No more double posts, you big dope!
Totally unacceptable.
At least that rag in Britain had the decency and integrity to fire the editor responsible for publishing fake photos of Iraqi women allegedly being raped by British soldiers.
The Globe is a cowardly disgrace.
The editor of the Daily Mirror has resigned after admitting its alleged Iraqi abuse pictures had been "a hoax". Piers Morgan's decision came as the paper "apologised unreservedly" for printing the pictures. The editor, one of the best known faces in Fleet Street, had earlier brushed away growing pressure on him to quit.
The Queen's Lancashire Regiment, subject of the abuse allegations, had said the pictures were "utter and complete nonsense". Military figures for the regiment said the photos are fake and that the newspaper should apologise.
In a hard-hitting press conference at Fulwood Barracks, Preston, key figures for the regiment said the Daily Mirror had increased the danger faced by British troops serving in Iraq. Col. David Black, a former commanding officer of the QLR, said: "(They are) almost a recruiting poster for al Qaeda and every other terrorist organisation."
They did not call for the resignation of the Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan, but said the board of governors and shareholders should put pressure on the paper to cooperate fully with an ongoing inquiry.
The reputation of the regiment had been "unjustly sullied", they added. Brig Geoff Sheldon said: "It's time that the ego of one editor is measured against the life of the soldier.

*cough*
If President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld hadn't produced a climate in which this kind of abuse could flourish, Councilor Turer would have never been put in the position of producing phony pictures. We are back to square one. President Bush and Rumsfeld should apologize to Councilor Turner. (The scary thing is that there are people out there that think like this!)
NYslimes bought the Glop.
The only reason that terrorists are doing these things is that they realize that Libs are so profoundly stupid and gullible. Libs have no sense of proportion, and they let their emotions overrun their feeble peabrains. They use no skeptisism or tests of reasonableness because they can't reason.
No wonder their mascot is a jackass.
Americans have a right to demand that this low life Chuck Turner be jailed for deliberately trying to harm the people and the soldiers of the USA in war time. He needs jail, and all the punishment that goes with it.
Shame on the City of Boston for having such an un-American on their pay roll! This is a National Disgrace, the Boston Globe! They should be fined and put out of business! Who needs a newspaper cranking out lies?
