Personally I wasn't bothered by it that much on reading the article, because Rich Miniter acknowledges such sources may have issues. What are your feelings? Roger:

It's almost as if they feel that they should be able to do whatever they want without consequence -- they're emulating the perspective of a two year old, in other words. I only regret that I let my subscription lapse before having the opportunity to cancel it with righteous indignation over the latest snafu.

Just a wild theory, but I would think that Apache keeps an IP log which would allow checking for that.

Beauchamp seems to have already settled up things with the military, so does anybody have any idea what the lawyers for TNR are pretecting TNR from ?

Unlawful termination of McGee comes to mind, but, except for the hit to their (already tattered) reputation, legally to what liability is TNR exposed ?

Rich Miniter makes Beauchamp sound like nut case, and TNR, a partisan co-conspirator with a nut case. The steady drip .. drip .. drip of this story and the absence of any meaningful blowback (except that “it doesn’t matter, does it?”) shows that the “search for truth” isn’t as important for the TNR and it’s lovers than the “search for truth that is inconvient for their enemies.”

Rich Miniter makes Beauchamp sound like nut case, and TNR, a partisan co-conspirator with a nut case.

Joe Wilson as Beauchamp making stuff up. Valerie as Beauchamp's wife who's identity must remain 'secret'. The MSM as itself. Defend, defend, defend and when found out blame the right. The CIA as TNR, unable or incapable of finding out the truth. Is it just me or does anybody else sees Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame parallels here?

Joe Wilson as Beauchamp making stuff up.

Valerie as Beauchamp’s wife who’s identity must remain ’secret’.

The MSM as itself. Defend, defend, defend and when found out blame the right.

The CIA as TNR, unable or incapable of finding out the truth.
