Having posted more than once against “Scott Thomas”, I’ll eat a bite or two of crow and salute the man for coming forward. Also, I strongly admonish anyone from going after him physically or psychologically. I still believe he did a very bad thing by writing his lies or exagerations, but he still maintained the honor to step forward and sign his work.
The official military investigation and court martials associated with all of these diaries should go forward. The events described in these diaries, particularly the grave desecration, require punitive military discipline. If it turns out the Pvt Beauchamp fabricated this event, it is he that should be disciplined.
There is no honor here, he was about ready to be outed (see Ace o' Spades blog) and he was just beating them to the punch. If he did have any honor, he wouldn't have engaged in any of the behavior and he would have reported all the other incidents he observed to the proper authorities.
If you’re interesting in reading his pre-TNR blather, this looks like his blog:

My guess is someone figured out who he was, so it was time to reveal it. Anyway, if the theory he’s shooting for a job after Iraq is true, he’d need his name attached to the story.
So if I step forward and state that Joe Blow is a pedophile, when I know he’s not, I’m being “honorable” because I’ve Id’d myself?
I’m going to have to disagree with you.
