Help me out here, gilly. If the Iraq Interior Ministry and the AP reported his name and where he worked, how in the hell did Confederate Yankee and/or Bruce “out” him?

Further, if you violate the law, or at least violate the conditions of your employment, don’t you think you should be held accountable? Or should he get a pass as liberal heroes always do?

How can one corroborate nothing? Further, how can five people corroborate nothing?

Keep grasping at straws, gilly.

Change the subject?
Hardly. Confederate Yankee IS a discredited blogging publication that makes false charges, flawed investigations, and has misled the rightie blogesphere in the past.
Yet, the rightists are relying on a discredited blogger to say we should not trust the discredited TNR – Strange -
Further, GP demands apologies but offers none of his own for spreading past slanders based solely on Confederate Yankee lies.
The majority of the STB “reporting” has been done by the fiction factory Confederate Yankee. And it is a source for article in the posting, therefore its hardly changing the subject to point out the source has led you astray before.

I think gil would fancy Venezuelan go-go dictators.

And with that… I have to go; I leave gil in others’ capable hands.

That would be amazing if true. If true, indeed the publication should be shut down for not being open to their failings.

I quite agree. TNR’s misbehavior is truly amazing – especially given that TNR has already been caught on it so many times.

One would truly expect TNR to have learned from the comparable Ruth Shalit and Stephen Glass scandals. It’s astounding and outrageous, that they have not.

As for:

However, why would anyone trust Confederate Yankee?
That site has been completely discredited for using false charges to slander in the past, why do you trust them now?

And that, for the record, is flatly untrue. But, we can all see that gil lives in a world of wishful thinking. (Wishing the Beauchamp allegations were somehow true; etc.)

So your charge ILC, is that TNR fabricated the content of their corroboration story?

My charge is this – which you can read for yourself, but apparently you need it repeated:

TNR’s after-the-fact fact-checking was a whitewash, in which TNR asked its “corroborating” people intentionally vague questions (if not misleading). I am 100% certain that TNR found 5 soldiers to corroborate that there is country called Iraq, that they are in it fighting a war, etc.

Read it again and again, gil, until it sinks in.

The author admits that he lied, therefore the corroboration doesn’t exist and is irrelevant. You can’t have witnesses to something that never happened. In what alternate universe would it be otherwise?

However, why would anyone trust Confederate Yankee?
That site has been completely discredited for using false charges to slander in the past, why do you trust them now? I strongly suggest you wait to pass judgment instead of relying on that site of “fiction.”

Further, GP, if you demand an apology from Andrew Sullivan, you yourself should apologize to the AP for your complicity in the Jamil Hussien story…Malkin did, Have you?

Confederate Yankee brought that upon you once, why are you willing to hitch yourself to that wagon again?

No, gil. We’re calling TNR liars. Read the PJM article. Carefully. Beauchamp recanted. TNR’s after-the-fact fact-checking was a whitewash, in which TNR asked its “corroborating” people intentionally vague questions (if not misleading). I am 100% certain that TNR found 5 soldiers to corroborate that there is country called Iraq, that they are in it fighting a war, etc.

Hopefully, that gets that out of the way.
