It keeps getting worse for Piers Morgan.
The Commons Defence Select Committee will say today that it wants Mr Morgan to identify the soldiers who handed the photographs to his newspaper.
The regiment involved has given army investigators “killer facts” to demolish the allegations.
Officers of the 1st Battalion Queen’s Lancashire Regiment insist that they did not deploy to Iraq with the four-tonne lorries depicted in the Mirror photographs.
Senior Mirror journalists indicated for the first time last night that they were also having doubts over the authenticity of the pictures. They said that the paper was worried about the origin of the black and white photos, which show a hooded and bound Iraqi being tortured in the back of a lorry.
It now seems that Morgan paid £20,000 for the pictures. How stupid is that?
