"The issue here is not the fate of the Daily Mirror editor; the issue here is not, indeed, whether the pictures in the Mirror were fake or not. Unlike the government which, over the last year or so, has a proven record of lying to the British people, I think these pictures were published in good faith. They may not be true, but what they represent is true." J Pilger
So The Daily Mirror-- by publishing the faked photos-- was telling the truth, while the government-- which pointed out they were faked-- was lying.
