"Truth is always the first victim"

The other day, it was pointed out that the UK Times had erroneously (and I believe I'm being kind in using that word) run an old photo of victims of an "insurgent" massacre in Haditha, tying it instead to the accusations of murder directed at our marines. The Times apologized for the "mistake", and promptly withdrew the anti-marine piece of propaganda from its site. However, the errata slip seems to have failed to reach Jack Higgins in time for him to change his Chgo. Sun-Times cartoon for today.

Either that, or the "message" was far too important for Higgins to backtrack and deal with actual facts, here.
