Confederate Yankee Cites More Reason to Question TNR’s Own Fact Checking
Posted by bobsikes under UncategorizedThis morning, Confederate Yankee posted a letter he recieved from Major Renee Russo, the Public Affairs Officer at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. A query was sent to Maj. Russo regarding TNR’s claim that Scott Beauchamp’s claim he and soldiers in his unit had mocked a woman who’s face had been disfigured by an IED. Beauchamp’s original story had changed in that he said the incident had happened at a Arifjan, a staging base, and not at Falcon. It seems the Army feels the story is still false. And as TCY indicates in his post, even though the US Army deems the story to be false and had told this to an editor of TNR, the magazine failed to publish this.
