Foer was involved in the false accusations against US troops in the Iraq War...an early "hate crime hoax":
Foer's Folly Finally Falls Flat {The New Republic} American Thinker ^ | December 02, 2007 | Rick Moran Posted on 12/2/2007 12:36:35 PM by 3AngelaD It took four months of dodging, ducking, bobbing, and weaving, but bloggers have finally pinned Franklin Foer and The New Republic to the mat. Yesterday afternoon, Foer's online edition of the magazine published a long, self-pitying, highly defensive screed about the Scott Beauchamp articles that accused American soldiers of casual atrocities in Iraq in which the Editor of The New Republic admitted the magazine would no longer stand behind or vouch for their accuracy: ...It took Foer 12,000 words to admit to his own incompetence and the incompetence of his staff.
