For once, the Boston Globe decides not to be Puritan, and look what happens: porn published as Iraqi torture photos. I'd say hardcore porno is a little worse than Doonesbury saying "son of a bitch."

On further digging, it turns out a Boston City Councilor was displaying the fake torture pics of "US soldiers raping Iraqi women." That makes it less the Globe's fault -- and more of notorious rag The Herald stating only the facts that are convenient for them, surprise surprise! -- but still funny. The Boston Phoenix says " these photos had been exposed as fakes quite a bit before Boston City Councilor Chuck Turner and local activist Sadiki Kambon unveiled them at a news conference on Tuesday." I'm only saddened that conservative cranks like Drudge, WorldNetDaily, and the Herald are the ones powering this story.
