I don't think they did. I mean that is a really drastic measure to manufacture a story like that. There would have to be quite a few people in the loop, and it is inevitable someone would talk, and that would seriously damage any credibility the paper ever had for years.
My feelings about political/foreign issues aside, I still think it was some anti-war group, who wanted to ruin any good news to come out of the war. If anyone think it is far fetched, speak to Mr. Galloway. They certainly have motive, and as a tight-knit (extremist?) group, they probably have the means to do it, whilst maintaining secracy.

Assuming the photos are fake, then the Mirror is to blame whether they created them or not. If it did not create the photos itself, it should have checked the validity of them (which appears not to have been done).
