When Beauchamp went public last month, he said in a statement that it was "maddening, to say the least, to see the plausibility of events that I witnessed questioned by people who have never served in Iraq."Kurtz, why did Beauchamp use "plausibility" and not "veracity", "truthfulness" or any other word that would mean the events were more than likely or possible but actual? How many clues do you need?
New Republic Asks Military To Prove Their Lies
*********************************EXCERPTS*********************************
The saga of Pvt Beauchamp (married to someone at the New Republic no less) is one of propaganda lies placed in media outlets to spin falsehoods about our military and their activities in Iraq. It is a shameless and near criminal act of lying to the public face on. The Weekly Standard hit the news yesterday claiming Beauchamp had recanted. The Army is not providing details and the New Republic (of Lies) is standing by their ‘investigation’ (not by an outside group of course) that the stories are true. So what does the New Republic do when faced with an Army conclusion that the stories are false? They demand the military share their internal investigation details with them:
Yesterday, The New Republic posted another note on its Web site saying its editors had spoken to Major Lamb and asked whether Private Beauchamp had indeed signed a statement admitting to fabrications. “He told us, ‘I have no knowledge of that.’ He added, ‘If someone is speaking anonymously [to The Weekly Standard], they are on their own.’ When we pressed Lamb for details on the Army investigation, he told us, ‘We don’t go into the details of how we conduct our investigations.’
In an e-mail message, Mr. Foer said, “Thus far, we’ve been provided no evidence that contradicts our original statement, despite directly asking the military for any such evidence it might have,” adding, “We hope the military will share what it has learned so that we can resolve this discrepancy.”
Why does the Army owe the New Republic anything? Beauchamp has recanted parts of his lies already (one of his fantastic Iraq stories never happened in Iraq we now know).
