UK: Roy Greenslade shows his support for The Mirror editor Piers Morgan

Posted by Ruth Bayliss on May 5, 2004 at 11:40 AM

Roy Greenslade, former editor of The Daily Mirror, has shown his support for current Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan. In his article for The Guardian Roy Greenslade looks into the newspaper's decision to show what it claimed were British soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners. Greenslade believes that if the photos were in fact faked "it would be the bloodiest error any newspaper has ever made." However he argues that "torture is the issue here and not these photos" and goes on to point out that it could be in the interests of the British government and British Army to negate the validity of the newspaper's story.
