PLEASE BRITAIN, TAKE THE “CNN STINKBOMB” BACK!
FIRED BY MURDOCH FOR ATROCITY PHOTO HOAX
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor
To think former rodeo clown Glenn Beck is looking for work based on imaginary charges of Antisemitism, Beck whose career working for Israeli owned Fox News has been little but war mongering, Neocon talking points and downplaying Bush era criminal acts is surprising. Beck is now and always was a useless moron. Why should the simple fact that he is embarrassing be an issue? Judge Napolitano, a muzzled but brilliant guy makes up for a dozen Glenn Becks or Rush Limbaughs.
Evil as these trolls are, and the proof of their plotting has been seen in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Maine and other states where their cronies have tried to establish National Socialist dictatorships, mini-police states inside the United States, Piers Morgan goes much further:

Morgan, if anything, is a parrot of Julian Assange. The agenda? War with Iran and attacking anyone pushing for an investigation of 9/11. Their other shared symptoms? Love of Zionist extremism, hatred for Islam and narcissistic personality disorders.
Who does Morgan work for? His paychecks say CNN. We suspect someone else.
Take him back, we don’t want him. Who needs a blithering incompetent, debunked in his own country, running his private war against the people of the United States?
America has enough problems, every third person is either an illegal alien, a terrorist or a “nutter.” Morgan is a “nutter.”

BBC: Editor sacked over ‘hoax’ photos
Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan has been sacked after the newspaper conceded photos of British soldiers abusing an Iraqi were fake. In a statement the Mirror said it had fallen victim to a “calculated and malicious hoax” and that it would be “inappropriate” for Morgan to continue.
The Queen’s Lancashire Regiment (QLR) said the Mirror had endangered British troops by running the pictures.
Roger Goodman, of the QLR, said the regiment now felt “vindicated”.
Mr Goodman added: “It is just a great pity it has taken so long… and that so much damage has been done in the meantime.”
“ The Daily Mirror… apologises unreservedly for publishing the pictures and deeply regrets the reputational damage done to the QLR and the Army in Iraq ”
At a news conference in Preston on Friday afternoon, the regiment demonstrated to reporters aspects of uniform and equipment which it said proved the photographs were fake.
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”.
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.”
‘Recruiting poster for al-Qaeda’
The photos published in the Mirror on 1 May appeared to show British troops torturing an Iraqi detainee.
In one picture a soldier is seen urinating on a hooded man while in another the hooded man is being hit with a rifle in the groin.
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.
However one of the Mirror’s informants – Soldier C – said there had been abuse in Iraq.
The Territorial Army solider has been questioned by Royal Military Police after talking about his claims to the Daily Mirror.
On ITV’s Tonight With Trevor McDonald he said: “It did go on, it wasn’t all the army, it wasn’t systematic but it did happen.”
Downing Street refused to comment on the issue, saying it was a matter for the Mirror board.
“ This was about the life of British soldiers, and you can’t tough it out when you’re wrong ”
The BBC’s Nicholas Witchell said it appeared Piers Morgan remained unrepentant right to the end
“According to one report Mr Morgan refused the demand to apologise, was sacked and immediately escorted from the building,” he said.
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.”
The Sun newspaper had offered a £50,000 reward for “information about the fake Mirror photos” but withdrew the offer following the sacking of Morgan.
