The obligatory Scott Beauchamp update (Updated)

No new observations from me at present; just noting that the Drudge Report claims to have documents from the Army's investigation into the events described by Scott Thomas Beauchamp in his "Baghdad Diarist" series for The New Republic.

I'll be more interested when copies of the documents are posted at the Smoking Gun or the like.

Update: Drudge has posted supposedly leaked documents detailing phone conversations between Scott Beauchamp and TNR folks (including Franklin Foer).

If this stuff is legit, then it's curtains for TNR.

As bad as I could have imagined, from the look of it.

Beauchamp, in my opinion, redeems himself somewhat with the attitude of looking out for those around him (I assume he means his Army buds) and making that his overriding focus. Maybe his service in the Army will change his life positively in ways he did not expect.
