Yet another "phony soldier?"

lt seems that yet another toast of the left, New Republic's Scott Beauchamp (a/k/a "Baghdad Diarist"), whose tales of malfiesance of our brave men and women in Iraq have become the stuff of propaganda by leftists and terrorists alike, has been proven to be a fraud:

Drudge has the story.

According to a July article in the WaPo:

The New Republic's anonymous "Baghdad Diarist" identified himself yesterday as Scott Thomas Beauchamp, an Army private in Iraq, and disputed as "maddening" accusations that he had invented his accounts of cruelty by American soldiers.
Curiously, Beauchamp's articles are missing, and you can hear crickets chirp at the TNR website.

What is "maddening" is that the charade has been allowed to continue without a peep from the leftist elements at The New Republic, who didn't think twice about publishing false tripe that fit their "soldiers as baby killers" template.

Should I hold my breath for some retractions?

How bout an apology?

I didn't think so.

****UPDATE*****

James Robbins at NRO has more.

Leo,

Hasn't this Beauchamp already been outed as a "phony soldier?"

Don't expect any retractions from the New Republic--they will keep this alive, just as MMFA keeps their propaganda going...

Keefer-

He is a real soldier and a real liar. TNR should be ashamed of themselves. What is intriguing about this is that they supported the war in the begining and Marty Peretz still does.

I didn't think so.

Only if your idiot president apologizes for invading a soverign nation under false pretenses. only if your idiot president apologizes for turning the entire world against us. only if your idiot president apologizes for the price of oil skyrocketing. only if your idiot president....Geez, I just realized I could go on forever, and never run out of examples. But you folks wouldn't care anyway. you have your king and that is what's best for America, isn't it? You feel safe from brown people when codpiece is strutting his stuff. The world will judge you very harshly, but again you don't care.

Always a good ploy to attack the fringe of any political issue, especially if the center is too strong.
