Journalism 101.
Bob Owens, the blogger who keeps acting like a reporter (ought to) has been chasing Beauchamp documents through FOIA. (Note: the TNR crew, with lawyers and editors and everything, apparently thought this would be ... who knows).
He'll be streaming the documents up all day. Go check them out and give him a big atta-boy.
Foer, not so much.
Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
I don’t know if anyone has been watching the new (alas final) season of “the Wire” which deals with the role of the media and some of the ethical issues involved. One the characters is a young ambitious and unscrupulous newspaper reporter who keeps coming up with this juicy quotes that no one else seems to be able to verify and we’re lead to believe he’s making them up. I just noticed that his name was “Scott Templeton.”
So Beauchamp went AWOL twice. Funny he didn't write a diary about how he was kidnapped by terrorists disguised as whores.
