SCOTT THOMAS AND JAMIL HUSSEIN: Some sensible thoughts at The Mudville Gazette. “The New Republic’s new ‘war hero’ is not exposing bad behavior of others that’s condoned by his seniors – he’s confessing to that behavior himself. Since the New Republic won’t release his identity, we can only conclude that either they support this sort of behavior by US troops or know that he isn’t one. Neither option speaks well for anyone involved.”

UPDATE: A Duke lacrosse comparison. Facts or not, the narrative is certainly the one they want.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Hey, maybe “Scott Thomas” is really this guy. It all makes sense, now!
