From Confederate Yankee:

Documents released by the Office of the Chief of Staff, U.S. Central Command at MacDill Air Force Base Florida, in relation to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests files for documents relating to the military investigation into the Scott Thomas Beauchamp “Shock Troops” article in The New Republic magazine.

The following are the never-before published statements of soldiers interviewed in the course of the investigation. Names are redacted per federal privacy laws.

The documents basically confirm once again that Scott Beauchamp was and is full of sh*t. He tried to smear the Army with a string of outrageous falsehoods that the liberal media swallowed up as fast he could invent them.

The New Republic clung to his lies for as long as possible before issuing a half-hearted retraction all the while leaving the door open to the possibility that maybe his stories could be true.

Other guys in his unit were shocked when they read his blog and saw all the bullsh*t stories he concocted. When asked if PFC. Beauchamp was a reliable soldier, every single person interviewed said he was a terrible soldier who had in fact been AWOL on two occasions.

I can’t believe they’re keeping such a dishonorable scumbag in the U.S. Army. He’s a disgrace to his unit, the U.S. Military, and to his country.

I hope the other guys in his unit dragged his sorry ass out into the desert and gave him a savage beating.

After many months of denial and stonewalling The New Republic has finally admitted that Scott Thomas Beauchamp is a lier. The so called “Baghdad Diarist” spun terrific tales of cruelty by U.S. troops in Iraq, which he has sense admitted to the Army were false.

“We cannot be confident that the events in his pieces occurred in exactly the manner that he described them,” Editor Franklin Foer wrote of the dispatches by Scott Thomas Beauchamp. “Without that essential confidence, we cannot stand by these stories.”

In the New Republic case, Foer acknowledged a key “mistake” in checking on whether Beauchamp lied or exaggerated in writing that U.S. soldiers had made fun of a disfigured woman, run over dogs for sport and played with an Iraqi child’s skeletal remains. Foer said Beauchamp’s wife, Elspeth Reeve, then a researcher at the magazine, was assigned “a large role” in checking the story. While Reeve acted in good faith, he said, “there was a clear conflict of interest.”

Foer said he recognizes that some of the corroboration was coming from “Beauchamp’s buddies” and that the private “sounded defensive and evasive” in trying to explain why he initially placed the allegedly disfigured woman in Iraq rather than Kuwait.

For some reason the media just can’t stop carrying water for The New Republic over Scott Beauchamp the lier. The left wing media continues to rally around TNR desperately clinging to the hope that Beauchamp’s lies will somehow become true.

The latest TNR apologist and Scott Beauchamp cheerleader is Tim Rutten who wrote a ridiculous piece for the L.A. Times. It was riddled with inaccuracies and distortions that Confederate Yankee was kind enough to list one at a time. Take a look.

The New Republic is nothing but a joke. They literally have no credibility left to damage. Even in light of the documents we posted this week from Drudge proving Scott Beauchamp is a f*cking liar, TNR still refuses to admit the stories are bullshit.

It’s hard to believe this is really happening! Scott Beauchamp’s wife Ellie works at TNR and is desperate to keep her husband from being exposed as the lying piece of sh*t he is.

Anyone can read the transcripts and army documents we posted this week and clearly see Beauchamp is a lier, and he completely hung TNR out to dry.

Yet they STILL refuse to admit their “phony soldier” made the whole thing up.

Yesterday, Drudge posted documents proving that The New Republic’s “Baghdad Diarist” is a liar, and a “phony soldier.” We posted links to each of the documents, but for some reason the links went bad.
