Oh dear, it's not a good week for the media. Was good of the Herald to not run it, although you have to wonder if that was due to a decision to "take the moral high ground" vs the rival paper.
As for the globe, I guess whoever gave the photo's the OK should get the sack. I haven't seen any of the photos in world media yet, so with luck the damage outside of the US won't have been that great.
In cases where soldiers are killed as a direct and proven result of publishing fake photos, i would love to see manslaughter charges. Although I realise that might be a little unrealistic.
