New Republic Tosses a Few Bones<1>
The New Republic yesterday posted yet another editorial on the Scott Thomas Beauchamp situation and on its attempts to "re-report" his

All of Beauchamp's essays were fact-checked before publication. We checked the plausibility of details with experts, contacted a
corroborating witness, and pressed the author for further details. But publishing a first-person essay from a war zone requires a measure of
faith in the writer. Given what we knew of Beauchamp, personally and professionally, we credited his report. After questions were raised
about the veracity of his essay, TNR extensively re-reported Beauchamp's account.Office 2010 key is for you now!
BR>As to the "Shock Troops" incident? In a nutshell: the story about the disfigured woman was (reportedly) true, but the location was wrong;

Buehring, in Kuwait, prior to the unit's arrival in
Iraq." But this error (if it is the only one) is okay, because "Beauchamp acknowledged his error" and "we (TNR) sincerely regret this
mistake." p>
TNR claims to have corroborated the other two incidents; however, if its editorial is to be taken at face value, then its again settled
lazily for something that cast the shadow of truth on Beauchamp's far more detailed narrative, rather than actually (a) investigating
further, or (b) owing up to having published a gross exaggeration. p>Take, for example, the child's skull incident. Said Beauchamp in his Many people use Microsoft Office 2007 to help their work and life.

One [soldier] wrote in an e-mail: "I can wholeheartedly verify the finding of the bones; U.S. troops (in my unit) discovered human remains in
the manner described in 'Shock Troopers.' [sic] ... [We] did not report it; there was no need to. The bodies weren't freshly killed and thus visio 2010
