After a thorough investigation that lasted nearly a week the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division has concluded that the allegation made by Private Thomas Scott Beauchamp, the "Baghdad Diarist", have been

"refuted by members of his platoon and proven to be false"

The official investigation the 4th IBCT Public Affairs Office qualified as "thorough and professional" concluded late August 1st. Officials would not speculate on the possibility of further action against Private Beauchamp, nor would they confirm his current whereabouts or status.

Sergeant First Class Robert Timmons, the acting public affairs official of the 4th IBCT, 1st ID, in the absence of Major Luke Luedeke, remarked that despite the high level of attention this case received in the American media, soldiers at the 4th IBCT, 1st Inf. Div, a "surge" Brigade, have not been distracted from their missions.

In the month of July, Operation Dragon Hammer resulted in the capture of over 110 detainees and "no mission has been delayed or adversely effected by the investigation into Private Beauchamp's allegations of misconduct among the soldiers of his unit the 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment", said Timmons.

The 4th IBCT, 1st ID Area of Operations, Rasheed District in Western Baghdad is one of the toughest and most violent districts in the Iraqi capital.

Ping! ;)

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I’m really starting to hate these lying scumbags.

I mean real, tangible hatred. On the same level as what I feel for the islamofacists.

[JRochelle]

What a liar.

May he recieve punishment from his fellow soldiers. And it will be just what he deserves.

[SeanOGuano]

Blanket party in the barraks at night.

[piperpilot]

A nice blanket party would do quite well, although we would then have to read about how this lying POS was “abused” by his fellow soldiers for “speaking out.”

[doodad]

I hope he likes Leavenworth. I did when we lived there. But, we lived on the other side of that wall and did not move sand piles for a living. I hope he likes snow.

[Suzy Quzy]

Shunning and then the BRIG!!

[wideawake]

TNR hired Scott Thomas Beauchamp and printed his lies without confirmation solely because he was banging one of their reporters.

This is worse than the Glass scandal in a variety of ways.

[savedbygrace]

A good old fashioned shunning would be better. Only interact with him if your job responsibilities require it. Other than that, turn your back on him.

[Pride in the USA]

Great news for those brave members of the 4th IBCT and I hope that private is brought to justice.

[Tex Pete]

He needs to be the first man in, every time.

[Lurker]

nor would they confirm his current whereabouts or status.

Where ever he is I'm certain the phrase 'deep sh**' applies.

printed his lies without confirmation solely because he was banging one of their reporters.

I'm willing to bet the little putz didn't even really write that crap. Dollars to donuts it was the 'fiance' and all he did was say 'Sounds good, honey. So....what are you wearing right now?"

At a minimum this cream puff needs a Court Martial under the General Conduct clause of the UCMJ.

A few years at Leavenworth and a Bad Conduct discharge ought to round out his resume very nicely.

[Allegra]

I strongly suspect that he is no longer in Iraq. Maybe in Kuwait, maybe even back home, but I'll bet they got his lying @$$ out of here.

Liability reasons, y'know. ;-)

[mort56]

Has anyone told TNR?

[George W. Bush]

This Beauchamp needs a full-blown expose on him. The Pentagon needs to make an example of him.

This is one case where a “Code Red” would be justified.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Just so long as the rock he's presently under is a large, flat one. That's all I'm asking. ;)

[griswold3]

My favorite post as to the mindset of these lefties. They never fail to dissapoint me!

While Beauchamp’s claims were not factually true, they illustrated a greater truth about the American military and the insidious effects that Bush’s illegal war has one the troops.

(Fake but accurate, again!!)

[VOA]

TNR hired Scott Thomas Beauchamp and printed his lies without
confirmation solely because he was banging one of their reporters.

So which TNR guys was he doing?
(just had to say it, given my opinion of TNR)

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Ace has been nothing less than a full-blown, solid gold, accept-no-substitute CHAMPION, insofar as the best all-around internet coverage of this story from Day One is concerned. ;)

[avacado]

Great post! It seems facts are just a hindrance to their “truth!”

[wideawake]

The reporter’s name is Elspeth Reeve - I’m sure she has a very interesting story behind her.

[NRG1973]

Does anyone know if Beauchamp can be courtmartialed for the lies in his diaries? I am very tired of all the leaks by the CIA, FBI and the media. Since Beauchamp is in the military I would hope that he is courtmartailed for his actions. It might discourage others from doing the same thing.

[MizSterious]

Radigan’s Raiders pinglist—if you want on or off, let me know via Freepmail.

This particular liar has been exposed, one down, so many more to go.

[Billthedrill]

"Proven to be false." Four words. By the time TNR gets through filtering, massaging, injecting innuendo and an appreciation for a "greater truth" that is, in fact, a preference for falsehood, this thing will be a 10,000-word article and Beauchump will be a martyr.

That doesn't change a thing. "Proven to be false."

[Madame Dufarge]

Too bad there isn’t such a thing as “Order of the Pink Feather” to cover fifth columnists like Beauchamp.

[George W. Bush]

His service may be admirable but he was a gay porn actor and male ‘escort’ prior to his military service. He admitted it. You might notice that Fox News and Ann aren’t doing anything to associate themselves with him these days. Especially ironic was Bill ‘Falifel’ O’Reilly’s little campaign against the Colt porn studio’s new HQ in S.F. while within only a few days of that, he had Sanchez on his show.

[Grampa Dave]

Another example of why liberals should not be in our military.

They hate America as much or more as the Islamofascists and communtists do.

This vile pos traitor was just doing what John Kerry and other left wing traitors did during the Nam years. Without the internet, he might have become a US Rat Senator years later, like Kerry.

Get rid of Rats from the top to the bottom in our military to protect the real warriors. They are Hatriotics instead of Patriots!

[Al Gator]

fraggum

[Lurker]

but I'll bet they got his lying @$$ out of here.

Maybe a nice vacation in Afghanistan.

[PAR35]

A brigade, and they couldn’t come up with an officer willing to speak on the record? They ordered a mid-grade Sergeant to be the spokesman?

[Al Gator]

Hey, CC!

Beauchamp just “volunteered” to take point, for the REST OF THE TOUR!

How noble!

[Grampa Dave]

“Too bad there isn’t such a thing as “Order of the Pink Feather” to cover fifth columnists like Beauchamp.”

Tatoo a pink feather on his forehead, his forearms and on each buttock. Then let him explain those tatoos the rest of his life.

[doodad]

I will have to look that up in the manual, LOL.

He is in for a fun ride.

[Toddsterpatriot]

The reporter’s name is Elspeth Reeve - I’m sure she has a very interesting story behind her.

Reeve, BJ '05, earned degrees in magazine journalism and political science. From Atlanta, Ga., she received a certificate of merit for her article, "Behind the Bars." The article, which was printed in Vox, was part of a four-article series and examined the criminal justice system in the United States. Vox is an award-winning weekly city magazine that appears in the Missourian.

Upon graduation, Reeve interned at Time magazine and now works for the Center for Public Integrity in Washington, D.C.

"Does anyone know if Beauchamp can be courtmartialed for the lies in his diaries?"

Not sure but some soldiers on FR have noted that his posts which detailed his unit's location and movements was a major no-no and subject to disipline.

Ah, his attempt to replace Hanoi John with Baghdad Beauchamp appears to have failed...

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Beauchamp just “volunteered” to take point, for the REST OF THE TOUR!

Completely naked. With "@#$% ALLAH!" tattooed across his chest. In large, red Arabic lettering. ;)

[cake_crumb]

"...the high level of attention this case received in the American media..."

Amazingly, the media isn't interested in reporting the outcome. Why is this, you ya'll suppose?

[wideawake]

Upon graduation, Reeve interned at Time magazine and now works for the Center for Public Integrity in Washington, D.C.

And there is the interesting part of her backstory: she works for the world's most famous Nazi collaborator, George Soros.

[Redbob]

He was just interviewing for a job at the NY TImes!

[Toddsterpatriot]

I’m shocked!

[Allegra]

Maybe a nice vacation in Afghanistan.

Or perhaps he can just patrol Sadr City every night. With a BIG American flag flying from his Bradley.

Wonder how many dogs he could hit in one night?

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

< she works for the world's most famous Nazi collaborator, George Soros.

Whoa!!! Great catch!!!

[cake_crumb]

"I strongly suspect that he is no longer in Iraq. Maybe in Kuwait, maybe even back home, but I'll bet they got his lying @$$ out of here"

I sure hope so.

[Lurker]

Now where have we seen this name before?

Anyone? Anyone?

I strongly suspect his Bradley isn't big enough to hang a flag from in the first place, actually.
