HuffPost burned by its own Facebook journalism *

After the arrest of Faisal Shahzad in the Times Square firebomb attempt, the Huffington Post quickly grabbed a photo off Facebook and said it was him. It wasn't. "Facebook journalism is a tricky science, and it almost certainly should never involve the publication of photographs of a person whom you think might be an alleged terrorist, and then again, might just be a normal dude," says a commentary by the Christian Science Monitor. "That's the kind of thing that can put someone in danger."

* But wait: Someone who saw the original Huffington Post item says it did include the disclaimer, "There is no way to confirm that it is the same man authorities arrested."
