Nonetheless, within days of his purported statement, many blog sites were swamped with outraged assertions that he was slandering American troops.

This is what I find so interesting: this event happened the last week in January; Friday night is the very first time The New York Times even MENTIONED his name, much less the controversy; they had to explain the story while they were reporting he resigned!

That ought to tell us everything; it was a complete non-story to them until he resigned; Howie Kurtz said it would have "fizzled out" if not for the internet.

And now they are all whining that we actually wanted to know the facts.

Again, you have hit a salient point. If not for the internet it would have fizzled out. Such a dreadful accusation against the military didn't seem to matter much. What mattered was that one of their own got called on it.
