Further Confirmation: No ‘Burned Woman’
More from Bob Owens on Scott Beauchamp story, which now appears to be a full-blown Stephen Glass-style scandal: Further Confirmation: No Burned Woman Here.
Adding to the debunking of The New Republic’s new claim that “burned contractor” story took place in Kuwait before PV-2 Scott Thomas Beauchamp deployed into a combat zone, U.S. Army Public Affairs Chief PAO for US ARCENT Kuwait LTC Andy Sams replies to an emailed inquiry about the claim:
Mr. Owens,We have absolutely no record of this. MAJ Russo contacted Buerhing and our Area Support Group and they do not have anything either.
Sincerely,
LTC Andy Sams
The New Republic’s editors are currently on vacation, as their reputation crumbles.
