They know that if these images turn out to be fake they can claim they believed them to be real, and who's going to hold them accountable?
The best we can hope for in that situation is for the other papers to find evidence the Mirror suspected they were fakes but published anyway to damage the work we are doing to rebuild Iraq and relations in the middle east, then for all Mirror readers to stop buying in protest.

Xaccers, do *YOU* have any *PROOF* of these accusations? That the Mirror really would "rather have kept Saddam in power"? That they deliberately published them "to damage the work we are doing to rebuild Iraq and relations in the middle east"?
Whatever my or your opinions may be of the Mirror as a news paper, for you to sling around accusations like this without anything to back them up is no better than them publishing the pictures without corroboration.
Oh, and please don't try to claim these are "opinions", because you, like they, are stating them as *FACTS*.
