Piers Morgan has been fired as editor of the Daily Mirror, and the British tabloid devoted its entire front page to an apology for publishing what turned out to be fake photos of British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners. In the U.S., the Boston Globe has apologized after printing a photograph in which images could be seen from a pornographic website that celebrated fake rapes of Iraqi women. (Unfortunately, the photos of abuse by U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib are all too real, and there are hundreds more that the public hasn't seen yet.)
