BBC, Mirror...
"Sorry...We Were Hoaxed" read the huge banner headline of the Mirror. The Mirror apologised for publishing 'fake' photographs of detainee abuse in Iraq. The army personnel code named 'Soldier C' described the torture inflicted on the prisoners and verified the authenticity of the 'fake' photographs. Still, Piers Morgan, the editor, had to go.
Gavyn Davies, the former BBC boss, drew the rage of some influential people including the PM for telling the truth about the Iraq war. In an inevitable fallout, he got removed. Now the Mirror editor is meeting the same fate for the same reason.
I think it is high time the western world admitted all the fuss about democracy, humanity, morality, freedom of press and freedom of speech.
