Then there's The New Republic, which claims to have multiple sources from among Beauchamp's fellow soldiers that have confirmed the events. Whom to believe? I don't know; but the ambiguity is such that any claims of slander are purely speculation based on a "he said/he said" approach. As you said, it would behoove the military to provide the evidence, it would put a definitive end to the controversy, and it makes no sense that they don't, which makes one wonder whether they actually do have any real substantive evidence that what Beauchamp said is false.Huckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15878450464298055466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704399.post-19582695530835263902007-08-09T20:51:00.000-05:002007-08-09T20:51:00.000-05:00No the people an trial here are the soldiers he is...No the people an trial here are the soldiers he is slandering.

The military has declared Beauchamp guilty of fabricating lies without providing any concrete evidence to prove this. They just say he lied without actually specifying how they arrived at that conclusion. The person on trial here, so to speak, is Beauchamp and whether his stories are true. The military is not on trial here. Where is the presumption of innocence for Beauchamp?Huckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15878450464298055466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704399.post-64341031175305873742007-08-09T12:56:00.000-05:002007-08-09T12:56:00.000-05:00HuckIsn’t it up to the accusers (Beauchamp and his...Huck<BR/><BR/>Isn’t it up to the accusers (Beauchamp and his supporters) to prove the charges? Why does the military need to prove them wrong? Or doesn’t that innocent until proven guilty thing apply to military personnel?<BR/><BR/>You can do better than this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
