Drudge: Docs Show TNR's Beauchamp Story Fake

   [1]Read 'em and weep.

     The DRUDGE REPORT has since obtained the transcript of a September
     7 call between TNR editor Frank Foer, TNR executive editor Peter
     Scoblic, and Private Beauchamp. During the call, Beauchamp declines
     to stand by his stories...
     ...
     The DRUDGE REPORT has also obtained a signed "Memorandum for
     Record" in which Beauchamp recants his stories and concedes the
     facts of the Army's investigation -- that his stories contained
     "gross exaggerations and inaccurate allegations of misconduct" by
     his fellow soldiers.
     ...
     The third document obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT is the Army's
     official report on the investigation...The report concludes that
     "Private Beauchamp takes small bits of truth and twists and
     exaggerates them into fictional accounts that he puts forth as the
     whole truth for public consumption."

   No more will Winter Soldier lies go unchallenged. TNR and other
   leftist publications need to understand they will no longer be allowed
   to smear our troops with impunity.
   As John Kerry found out in 2004, and Jack Murtha may find out very
   soon, this is a new day, and unfounded allegations against our troops
   are not acceptable political fodder.
