Beauchamp *Did* Recant
He already confessed publicly to lying about the Burned Woman. This proves he lied about the other two incidents in "Shock Troops" as well:
Read Bryan at Hot Air for comment on those.
Foer's claim that Beauchamp did not recant -- and its claim that even an Army official says he didn't recant -- is simply wrong. Foer is lying, as usual. Apparently he's clinging to something like his defense for the Burned Woman incident, in which lying about where and when the incident (supposedly) occurred is a rather minor detail which doesn't disprove the "fundamental veracity" of the tale.
Foer is probably now thinking, "Sure, he never *saw* the dogs get run down as he claimed he did, but claiming to be an eyewitness to an event is small potatoes. Likewise, claiming to have seen a human child skull used as a yarmulke is pretty close to merely finding some animal bones in a garbage dump site."
