Making It Up?

This time it's allegations against Scott Thomas Beauchamp in the New Republic.

The Weekly Standard has learned from a military source close to the investigation that Pvt. Scott Thomas Beauchamp -- author of the much-disputed "Shock Troops" article in the New Republic's July 23 issue as well as two previous "Baghdad Diarist" columns -- signed a sworn statement admitting that all three articles he published in the New Republic were exaggerations and falsehoods -- fabrications containing only "a smidgen of truth," in the words of our source.

The New Republic, um, is standing by Beauchamp.

Lest we forget, tell the truth.
