Scott Beauchamp's Statements To The Army

Confederate Yankee continues his publication of the Army's response to his FOIA request with two statements from Beauchamp himself.

There's not a flat out admission of fabricating the stories but there's no claim they are true either. Beauchamp walks a very fine line about what he admits to and uses a number of qualifying statements like, 'since I have been driving' or 'some people either thought or were told'. If nothing else, you have to give it to him for being a slippery bastard.

It's also pretty clear the Army wasn't pressuring him to recant or at least if they were they did a lousy job of it. So much for that lefty talking point.

Congratulations to Bob Owens for doing the job American 'reporters' won't do. Let's all hope his excursion into the world of big time journalism hasn't left him scarred and susceptible to a sudden burst of violent behavior we now know journalists are prone to.
