Beauchamp Update

For various reasons, some of them even good ones, I haven't blogged about the latest Drudge-related developments in the Scott Beauchamp case but here's TNR's latest statement on the matter which seems about right to me. I continue to be baffled by the way the conservative press and blogosphere, along with some elements of the Army, seem determined to treat TNR as driven by some kind of hardline anti-war ideology. The magazine supported the war, as best I can tell supports continuing the war, and in the one instance where clear and direct evidence has emerged that one aspect of the story was false, they issued a correction promptly.
