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.

That would/should only possible if you
knowingly published photos that you knew to be fake. And of course, if you go down that path, you will have to explore what happens when you publish a fake dossier of WMD knowing that to be a fake - which led to a proven great loss of life. Blair has much to fear from your calls for bloood
In any event, the Globe has published an apology and the matter is closed with regards to the photos. As far as the rape claims are concerned, there is an ongoing investigation into the alleged rape of family members of detainees at detention facilities in Iraq - best leave the investigation to make its conclusion before demanding retribution from either accuser or accused, wouldn't you say?
