The New Republic admits to slandering the troops

Awhile back The New Republic ran a few stories from a writer, Scott Beauchamp, who claimed to have been a soldier in Iraq. Well, he was a soldier in Iraq, but that is about as much truth as there was in the stories (which were very unflattering to our troops). The New Republic has finally admitted that the stories were pretty much made up. Michelle Malkin has a good take on it here.
