Shock troops, Fake but accurate?
Caos Blog has a complete rundown of the ‘Shlock Troops’ story about yet another ‘fake but accurate’ portrayal of the our troops as war criminals, something liberals are prone to believe and a belief they continually foster.
Michael Goldfarb, however, documents the unraveling story nicely. It’s just too bad that The New Republic keeps the juicy details hidden behind the skirts of their “for subscribers only” door. Locked tightly in order to keep prying (unpaying) eyes out. Such money-grubbing tightfisted care-for-nothing-but-corporate-profits/evil capitalists The New Republic are.
Isn’t it ironic that those who bemoan ‘capitalist exploitation’ at the expense of the truth apparently feel that this highly important ‘truth’ be hidden from non-paying eyes? Heh.
The blogosphere is still abuzz with talk of “Shock Troops.” Over at Hot Air, Bryan writes that in response to questions about the story from Washington Post reporter Howard Kurtz, TNR editor Frank Foer “offers snark instead of substantive answers.” Meanwhile, Gateway Pundit sees the response from FOB Falcon as confirmation that the story is a fraud. ~weeklystandard.com
