On June 3, I called attention to a false photo in the Times of London that purported to show victims of Haditha slaughtered by US Marines. The photo was of fishermen executed in a Haditha stadium by terrorists six months before the Nov. 19 incident under investigation by the US military.On June 6, I called attention to the use of that same false photo by the Chicago Sun-Times.On June 7, I reported that the Sun-Times had apologized.But as I said of the London Times' apology, "some smears aren't so easy to take back--especially when the image is as searing and damning as the bloody image the Times wrongly attributed to our Marines. Despite the correction, the image has been burned into the public memory."Read the article...WARNING: This photo is GRAPHIC.

The Al-jazeera website, run out of Dubai, is showing this false "marine" photo on it's site. Oh well, we know who our friends are. They don't include the United Arab Emirates OR the mainstream media.
