Jack Kelly, a veteran himself, has got it right. The New Republic’s "Baghdad Diarist" has been outed and now his journalistic and military "careers" are on the line, as well they should be:
"Now that they’ve demonstrated their diarist is a real soldier, the New Republic’s editors feel vindicated. But the issue is not whether Pvt. [Scott Thomas] Beauchamp is a soldier. It’s whether he’s telling the truth or not. And his story stinks to high heaven."
As Kelly says, if he’s lying, then he and his liberal editors are exposed as the partisan fools they are. If he’s telling the truth, then he and everybody in his chain of command is headed for judicial punishment. Either way, Chuck, you’re toast.
