British abuse story beginning to fold up?
Senior sources on the Daily Mirror privately acknowledged yesterday that the newspaper had serious problems with its publication of photographs purporting to show British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners. But they said the newspaper's editor, Piers Morgan, was preparing to "front it out" in the hope that the news agenda would move on and he could save his job.
The sad part is if the British photos are proven false, they will still continue to circulate throughout the Middle East, and on internet sites. The damage is done.
