"SCOTT THOMAS" REVEALED, and the spin is as predicted. Plus, as Bruce Carroll notes: "The New Republic has still not corroborated anything Private Beauchamp wrote."
They're hoping you won't notice that.
UPDATE: More here.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Mark Steyn notes that the most unflattering portrait in "Thomas's" writing was that of the author.
Still more at Blackfive. It's telling that most of the pushback on this has come from veterans.
And a journalist reader emails: "Why did TNR have to protect the identity of a blogger who was already public?"
Wait, I swear to god I've seen this before... Where was it? Oh, hang on...

(It looks like that treasonous article by Joe Wilson about Niger was politically motivated after all.)
Plus, as Bruce Carroll notes: "The New Republic has still not corroborated anything Private Beauchamp wrote."
(His wife sent him there, and Bob Novak broke the story. "Liberals" are carping that she was a "secret agent," but haven't corroborated any serious claims to back that up.)

And a journalist reader emails: "Why did TNR have to protect the identity of a blogger who was already public?"
(And conservative bloggers are left to wonder, why are we pretending that Valerie Plame had a covert identity when she was already public?)
