Army's Investigation Complete
By John
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"
Anyone willing to venture a guess why TNR broke its vacation and rushed out a half-assed non-confirmation YESTERDAY, conveniently beating this report to market?
Uh yeah, and to preemptively discredit the Army's investigation, apparently. Remember this?
Although we place great weight on the corroborations we have received, we wished to know more. But, late last week, the Army began its own investigation, short-circuiting our efforts. Beauchamp had his cell-phone and computer taken away and is currently unable to speak to even his family. His fellow soldiers no longer feel comfortable communicating with reporters. If further substantive information comes to light, TNR will, of course, share it with you.

But they support the military still, right?

Question for any attorneys: would the individual soldiers, including 'SGT LeClair,' have a legal standing to bring a libel suit against TNR?
