Stuck in the Mud for Good By John Tabin

The Scott Beauchamp affair -- the background on which you can find here -- reached a new climax Wednesday when the Drudge Report published some fascinating documents. (All of them are in .pdf format, and were downloaded and saved before the Drudge Report took them offline for unknown reasons.) One of them was an Army memo confirming what we already knew -- that the Army's investigation has concluded that the New Republic published falsehoods under Beauchamp's pseudonym, "Scott Thomas." The other is a transcript in two parts (part 1, part 2) of a September 7 phone call involving Frank Foer and Peter Scoblic, TNR's Editor and Executive Editor, respectively. It would be hard to overstate how embarrassing this transcript must be to TNR.
