 Greetings! You are reading an article from The Mudville Gazette. To reach the front page, with all the latest news and views, click the logo above or "main" below. Thanks for stopping by! July 27, 2007 Scott Thomas Beauchamp is married to New Republic reporter-researcher, Elspeth Reeve. !By Mrs GreyhawkThe magazine's editor, Franklin Foer, disclosed in an interview that Beauchamp is married to a New Republic staffer, and that is "part of the reason why we found him to be a credible writer." Foer also said Beauchamp "has put himself in significant jeopardy" and "lost his lifeline to the rest of the world" because military officials have taken away his laptop, cellphone and e-mail privileges. Greyhawk Replies: Gotta wonder if she's considered cutting off one of her arms or setting her face on fire, now that she knows what kind of chicks her hubby really digs. The actual quote was "Frank doesn't want to tell ___ her husband is a liar," offered up not by my source but by someone else. The blank has now been confirmed as TNR staffer Elspeth Reeve, and even though the quote was "husband," there's some question about that: weddingchannel.com says their wedding is coming in October. Though perhaps they had a quickie civil ceremony before his last deployment or something, with the formal ceremony to occur later.

March 19, 2010Dawn Patrol 03/19/2003 [Greyhawk]
"Welcome to the Dawn Patrol, our daily roundup of information on the War on Terror and other topics - from the MilBlogs and various sources around the world." Mudville was founded in March, 2003. Our efforts to bring the thoughts, words, and deeds of milbloggers to a wider world evolved to become The Dawn Patrol in March, 2005. With today's entry we're going to reset the clock - but not re-write the history - and recreate the world as it was - on a day the world changed...
Updating... more to follow.... MILBOGSAndrew Olmsted, 19 Mar 2003, Stateside: It would appear that the liberation of Iraq has begun. Greyhawk, 18 Mar 2003, Germany: A united world could have, just maybe, brought down Saddam without firing a shot. We will never know. 19 Mar: We'll never know what a united world could have achieved... the UN could not agree on anything, the situation degenerated, and here we are. Status quo was not working. The French were too desperate for oil and trade at any cost. Well-intentioned Americans were led into the streets by Communists (and others) with an agenda. The media distorted the split. Many in America and abroad thought they could manipulate the situation to their personal gain. They miscalculated. The fire is lit. Pontifx ex Machina, 18 Mar, undisclosed location: Rolling out the gate, the guard gets a quick "hook-em, horns" sign as we weave through the barricades. Then we're off, cruising through the desert in a battered-up SUV. On the eve of war, only one thing passes through our minds: is there going to be any appropriate music on the radio? Lt Smash, 19 Mar, undisclosed location: Read the President's speech today. The clock is ticking. Chief Wiggles, 22 Mar, Kuwait: The war started Wednesday morning for us right after the president gave a speech to the American people that lasted about 4 minutes. We were all very anxious for this whole thing to be either over or get it on its way. Will, 22 Mar, en route: I am going to Baghdad to personally shoot that paper hanging son of a bitch! Lt Smash 20 Mar, undisclosed location: Sgt Stryker, 20 Mar, Stateside: Iraq to File U.N. Complaint About Attack Primary Main Objective, 30 Mar, undisclosed location I Dare Kofi to Come Get Me.
BruceR, Flit, 19 Mar, Canada: AND SO IT BEGINS. Godspeed, Yanks. Come home safe and soon. Andrew Olmsted, 20 Mar 2003, Stateside: The most important thing to remember over the next few days is this: the first reports are almost always inaccurate. First reports are generally submitted in the heat of battle before any real analysis can take place. Therefore, they're highly subjective, based on limited information, and rarely hit the mark. So as the first reports of 'surgical strikes' on Iraqi forces come in, it's best to take those reports with a grain of salt... Iraqi BlogsSalam Pax, Baghdad: The bombing aould come and go in waves, nothing too heavy and not yet comparable to what was going on in 91. all radio and TV stations are still on and while the air raid began the Iraqi TV was showing patriotic songs and didn't even bother to inform viewers that we are under attack. at the moment they are re-airing yesterday's interview with the minister of interior affairs. THe sounds of the anti-aircarft artillery is still louder than the booms and bangs which means that they are still far from where we live, but the images we saw on Al Arabia news channel showed a building burning near one of my aunts house... Other BlogsAndrew Sullivan, The Daily Dish: How much more morally indefensible is appeasement when we also have complete international authority to do what must be done? I think we will look back in the future and not ask, as so many now are, how it was that diplomacy didn't get unanimity on this matter. We will look back and see the moral obtuseness of Chirac and Putin and Schroder and Carter and feel nothing but contempt for them, and their preference for state terror over the responsibilities of the free world. That's why I felt enormous pride tonight in the stand being taken by Blair and Bush. The president's speech was measured, firm, just. Blair's political risks - in order to do what he believes is plainly right - will confirm him in history as a great prime minister, the conscience of his party, and the leader of his country. I say that before this war begins, because the cause is just whatever vicissitudes of conflict await us... Glenn Reynolds has a ton of links. Newpapers

Actually, what is really unfortunate is that this guy is a liar and Foer is so busy trying to hold on to the strings of his particular empire he cannot fathom that his stonewalling is the device by which he will be destroyed.
He is still trying to claim it was "the truth".
that is the problem. It is not whether, at this point, there is a debate about Iraq, right or wrong, but whether this man wrote anything that resembled the truth as opposed to imaginative blatherings out of his preconceived notions of war and regurgitated fantasies from bloody war movies and books.
TNR is trying to front fiction as the truth. That is the problem. He should have gotten outside of his ideological lane long enough to figure that out and get past it before the Titanic shipwreck that is Beauchamp takes him down with it.
Then again, Foer is the captain, so maybe it makes sense that he rides the last waves down with his ship.
This weasel is still drawing a paycheck from MY tax dollars?
Jimbo your anti-American troop sentiment is pretty obvious even if you probably wouldn't admit it. You'd probably say you support the troop and it would be a damn lie. Plus your Bush Derangement Syndrome is getting old. FYI he'll be gone in about 18 months. Let's get back to your stupid assertion of that we're supposedly attacking the scapegoat. Republicans and DEMOCRATS authorized the President to attack Iraq if Saddam Hussein didn't comply to what he agreed to. So let's throw out that stupid accusation that President Bush lied us into this war. Next is your backhanded way of defending this idiot "Pvt Scott". Let me sum up your idiotic post. What does it matter if he lied? His Commander in Chief is a liar and the Army dehumanizes and tortures people anyway. You know what I take it back, you probably would be proud to say you don't support troops.
Ah, I see the left is out in... light force, at least.
Wonder how many other blogs Jimmy will be on, flinging poorly-fabricated tu quoque fallacies like so many chaff and flare bursts, hoping it will divert attention away from Beauchamp.
Oh by the way Greyhawk Jimbo is a perfect example of a MAJOR A-HOLE I was talking about.
The TANG (fake -- yes, they were fakes, really) memos. Clinton's "I did not have sex with that woman". The lies of Joe Wilson (see the Senate Report), especially about *knowing* about a faked report which he can't show he had even known about when he later claimed knowledge of it. The repeated lie that Bush said Saddam had purchased yellowcake from Niger (can't the Left even read? or don't they know that Niger is a smallish part of a large continent usually called 'Africa'?)
How appropriate. If a series of lies supports your particular belief system it's as good (or better than) the truth. Your outrage at getting caught peddling these particular lies (which you won't believe they are no matter what evidence is presented) is telling.
P.S. I have personal knowledge that JimBimbo is a pedophile and animal molester. (Well, if these are lies, we don't know that yet. It'll take a slow, thorough research process to tell.) I urge you to take this as just my 'particular story' and no effort to, say, slime an opponent.
