Thread Name: BS: Photos here of Iraqi prisoner abuse
Subject: RE: BS: Photos here of Iraqi prisoner abuse
I see that they are still peddling those photographs of the "Iraqi" being "abused" by the QLR, even although it is becoming increasingly more apparent that those "shots" were faked, staged in a British Army TA Hall back in the UK. Soldiers 'A' and 'B' required photgraphs of "abuse" in order to pocket the £10,000 the "Daily Mirror" offered them for their "story".

Does nothing but reinforce my extremely low opinion of the standard and calibre of British journalists:

Editor to Journalist - "The Yanks are being blasted for abusing prisoners. Toddle up to Lancs, poke around and bring me back a story about our lads doing the same."

Journalist to Editor - "Fair enough, what's the budget, and what are the expenses."
