'Shock Troop' supported

TNR did their investigation, the story held up.

I found the last bit rather revealing:

Although we place great weight on the corroborations we have received, we wished to know more. But, late last week, the Army began its own investigation, short-circuiting our efforts. Beauchamp had his cell-phone and computer taken away and is currently unable to speak to even his family. His fellow soldiers no longer feel comfortable communicating with reporters.

And this of course is the goal of the right-wing outrage machine: to silence real reports coming out of Iraq so that all we have to rely on is government propaganda. Like how they banned soldier blogs. That's their goal in all this.
