Well, guess what — the Army may not be willing to reveal its docs to TNR, the target of its investigation, but it has just acknowledged that someone internally has willingly leaked them to Matt Drudge.

The military investigate these stories because, if true, they indicated severe lapses in military discipline. How can anybody with an ounce of sense think that the Army was targeting TNR by actually attempting to seek the truth regarding horrible allegations of misconduct? Arrogance overflowing.

This again calls into question the Army’s handling of this affair in a big way. It’s bad enough that the Army hasn’t been willing to show any transparency with regard to its probe into this.

The Army never had a mandate to investigate, except it’s own internal integrity. And TNR would have loved for them to NOT investigate. It is only idiots like Sargent that are “questioning” the Army’s handling of “this affair”. They are seeking the truth. Oops, the truth is, STB lied, TNR printed the lies.

As for transparency, since when is a military investigation up for public scrutiny, especially by the media outlet that blindly published the fabrications?

Sargent, get a clue, you aren’t worthy of your own name.

Did that actually happen? When did the Army admit they were the source of the leak? Or is this a big leap from the fact that these are Army documents, so golly gee, who else could have leaked ‘em?

Who cares if the facts aren’t actually facts, and the story never really happened. What matters is that it strokes their fantasies about how rotten things are with people they hate.

Don’t you mean, “make up stories”? “Sex up” implies some level of truth not present here.

Well, it is true that a country named Iraq exists, and that Bradleys are vehicles.

Just as I said from the beginning, Beauchamp is just a bum who’s been set up by TNR and his own wife to sex up stories.

He deserves another chance.

As for TNR? Bury them. No credibility at that Glass House.

Even if Beauchamp wasn’t there, TNR would have found another pawn to stick the story to. Beauchamp is interchangable, but the liberal narrative is what remains.

Although all-but-recanting is not exactly the same as actually recanting, it’s the next best thing….

Foer said the Army has refused to turn over supporting documents in the case, despite a Freedom of Information Act request, and then “selectively leaked” material to Drudge. In an e-mail to the magazine yesterday, Army spokesman Maj. Kirk Luedeke said he was “surprised and appalled that this information was leaked” and that the military would investigate.

How does that admit that “someone internally” (in the Army) was the leaker? The admission – if one is required – will come after the investigation. I’d like to see the entire quote from Luedeke; I suspect that he didn’t make any such admission.

We haven’t talked about it, but his CO *could* have preferred charges against him for conduct detremental to good order and disclipline, and had him court martialed.

I can’t say if Beauchamp has been “punished enough”, but Foer, clearly HAS NOT.

Well, guess what — the Army may not be willing to reveal its docs to TNR, the target of its investigation, but it has just acknowledged that someone internally has willingly leaked them to Matt Drudge.

Excuse me, but just when and where did the Army investigate , charge and punish TNR? Did I miss something here?

Yon’s article is great. That is how I felt when reading the transcript. If it was genuine or not, he is there doing the job. A kid can get a second chance…

Your reality-based community in action, folks.

Uh, what reality-based community is that? Bizarro community?

He’s a pig.
