Un regalo per tutti coloro che si stracciavano le vesti dopo le

Londra, 19:51 
Iraq, torture; si dimette il direttore del Daily Mirror 
Piers Morgan, direttore del tabloid britannico Daily Mirror, si è
dimesso in serata dalla sua carica "con effetto immediato".
La sua decisione è stata presa in seguito alla vicenda delle fotografie
pubblicate dal suo giornale che mostravano presunti maltrattamenti a
prigionieri iracheni da parte di soldati britannici indicate poi come
dei falsi.
Il Daily Mirror nel rendere pubblica la notizia ha chiesto "scusa senza
riserve" per aver pubblicato le fotografie - che si sono rivelate in
seguito false - ed ha sottolineato che il giornale è stato oggetto di
uno "scherzo calcolato e maligno".

Editor sacked over 'hoax' pictures
 
Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan has been sacked following pressure over
faked photos of soldiers abusing an Iraqi prisoner. 
The Queen's Lancashire Regiment earlier told a press conference the
Mirror had to apologise for running the pictures and endangering British
troops. 
A statement from the Mirror said it had fallen victim to a "calculated
and malicious hoax". The Mirror board said it would be "inappropriate"
for Morgan to continue. 
Speaking to journalists on Friday morning, Morgan had been bullish,
saying he would not resign. 
But in a news conference in Preston on Friday afternoon, the regiment
demonstrated to reporters the aspects of uniform and equipment which it
said proved the photographs were fake. 
  The Daily Mirror... apologises unreservedly for publishing the
pictures and deeply regrets the reputational damage done to the QLR and
the Army in Iraq 
Mirror statement  
Roger Goodman, speaking on behalf of the QLR, said the regiment's
soldiers would not be celebrating but added: "They will see this as
vindication. 
"It is just a great pity it has taken so long... and that so much damage
has been done in the meantime." 
The Conservatives said they hoped lessons had been learned from the row. 
Deputy leader and foreign affairs spokesman, Michael Ancram, said:
''Looking at the facts objectively, this is the right thing for Piers
Morgan to have done. 
"The photos that were published in the Daily Mirror have done great
damage to the reputation of our troops, who are serving under some of
the most difficult conditions in Iraq.'' 
Earlier Colonel Black, a former regiment commander of the QLR, said the
pictures put lives in danger and acted as a "recruiting poster" for
al-Qaeda. 
Downing Street refused to comment on Morgan's resignation, saying it was
a matter for the Mirror board. 
The regiment's Brigadier Geoff Sheldon said the vehicle featured in the
photographs had been located in a Territorial Army base in Lancashire
and had never been in Iraq. 
He said the QLR's reputation had been damaged by the Mirror and asked
the newspaper to apologise because the evidence they were staged was
"overwhelming". 
Good faith 
Morgan will be replaced on a temporary basis by his deputy, Des Kelly. 
The newspaper released a statement saying: "The Daily Mirror published
in good faith photographs which it absolutely believed were genuine
images of British soldiers abusing an Iraqi prisoner. 
"However there is now sufficient evidence to suggest that these pictures
are fakes and that the Daily Mirror has been the subject of a calculated
and malicious hoax. 
"The Daily Mirror therefore apologises unreservedly for publishing the
pictures and deeply regrets the reputational damage done to the QLR and
the Army in Iraq. 
"The paper will continue to cooperate fully with the investigation. 
"The board of Trinity Mirror has decided that it would be inappropriate
for Piers Morgan to continue in his role as editor of the Daily Mirror
and he will therefore be stepping down with immediate effect."
