BIG: Drudge Posts Transcripts of Beauchamp's Call With Franklin Foer, In Which He All But Tells Foer His Stories Are FalseDrudge only is interested in alternative media stories when he himself has a piece of them, eh? Oh well. He does some good work here. Beauchamp declined to stand by the stories and told Foer he wanted "it to end." And Foer knew this, obviously, and yet lied about this call ever since by failing to disclose what was said. And TNR stood by the story since then, even having been told by Beauchamp himself he would not re-affirm the stories' truthfulness. Document 1: Beauchamp Refuses to Stand by Story (Beauchamp Transcript Part 1) The DRUDGE REPORT has since obtained the transcript of a September 7 call between TNR editor Frank Foer, TNR executive editor Peter Scoblic, and Private Beauchamp. During the call, Beauchamp declines to stand by his stories, telling his editors that "I just want it to end. I'm not going to talk to anyone about anything really." The editors respond that "we just can't, in good conscience, continue to defend the piece" without an explanation, but Beauchamp responds only that he "doesn't care what the public thinks." Can Anyone Cut and Copy The Transcript of Document One? I want to quote it but my Adobe reader doesn't seem to want to let me do so. Until then, go to Beauchamp's lines on Page 2 and read TNR repeatedly say they can't continue defending the stories unless Beauchamp re-affirms the truth of them. And Beauchamp flat-out refuses to do so. Foer and Scoblis (?) also inform Beauchamp that he can't write for the magazine anymore without such an affirmation -- and still Beauchamp refuses to re-affirm his fictions. So, TNR decided then that Beauchamp could no longer be trusted as a reporter/"diarist" for any future writing -- but did not inform its readership of that fact, and indeed continued to claim his previous stories were true. More: Beauchamp signed a document allowing a TNR lawyer to receive all relevant documents about his case from the Army. So TNR has had this stuff for a while. And yet no mention of it. Allah Asks... How Drudge got the documents. Eh... I know but I don't think I can say. More interesting is how whoever gave the documents to Drudge got the documents from TNR. Someone, I think, at TNR leaked these documents to a Hostile Party. The question is who. Our Man At TNR, "Throbert," was already long fired when these came into TNR's hands. So who is it at TNR who is either so disgusted by the magazine's stonewalling -- or perhaps so covetous of Franklin Foer's soon-to-be-ended job -- that he leaked them to decidedly unfriendly hands? That's not a teaser. I don't know that. Wish I did. Maybe I'll ask, but I doubt I'll get the answer. The Good Stuff: Dave at Garfield-Ridge converted this into a copiable doc for me. Scoblic: Scott ... I’ve reviewed the reporting that Frank and Ryan did, and I’ve got to tell you- I understand why there are questions being raised about the piece. And, the one factual error that we have in the piece is fairly disturbing. And that’s the first anecdote that you recounted about the disfigured woman took place in Kuwait and not in Iraq. And I wanted to ask you how you got that wrong? Because I was listening to an NPR show the other day or the other week I guess it was and the way they put it ts, “How do you forget a country?” Let’s start there. How did it become Kuwait or rather, how did it become Iraq, rather than Kuwait? "Say what?" Beauchamp's obviously lying. How could he not know he has to go through "channels" when he writes for the media? Scoblic: You (untelligible) . . .our conversation. You had been able to. Not huge, but again he seems to have lied about trying to get these documents into TNR's hands. Scoblic: Can you tell us what was in those statements? Foer did not get that sign of good faith, but also didn't bother to retract at all.
