The Daily Mirror and the Boston Globe swallowed false information hook, line and sinker. Note that these are two completely different sets of fake photos.

There has been nothing whatsoever to suggest that any of the other photos of Americans currently occupying the press are fake, but it looks like the British troops are off the hook.

A cynic might suggest that the enthusiasm in some parts of the media to show our troops as monsters and an American war as a failure may have overridden prudence. Wouldn't be the first time.

None of this takes into account the numerous news sources that took this information and ran with it. I expect to see those Daily Mirror photos brought up as evidence for months to come.
