Yeah its called SPIN, you will get used to that term as you get older, a sad fact of life really.
They published those pictures on the back of the furore regarding the photos stateside to make as much cash as possible, and at the time they claimed they were real. Irrespective of the current situation, irrespective of wether there IS or IS NOT abuses going on by UK soldiers, those photos should NEVER have been published unless they had absolute proof off their authenticity, they didnt even attempt to qualify that.
The damage they have done is irreversable, and im sure is hell that the same Iraqi's / Muslims etc, that saw the abuse in those photos will never see the appology and the retraction from the Mirror.
