Here is Elspeth Reeve with her husband Scott Thomas Beauchamp:

Such a beautiful couple. Right?

It was Beauchamp who wrote the "Baghdad Diarist" under the pseudonym Scott Thomas for the New Republic while a private in the U.S. Army. His article was discovered to be invented accounts of cruelty by U.S. soldiers. It is also noteworthy that his wife, Elspeth Reeve, was a New Republic staffer.

His three published columns included accounts of soldiers mocking a woman disfigured by an injury, getting their kicks by running over dogs with Bradley Fighting Vehicles and playing with Iraqi children's skulls taken from a mass grave. It was all fiction.

Perhaps we should question whether Elspeth wrote this latest venture into fiction; but rather she farmed it off to her husband to write for her.

He also claimed to have worn a child’s skull under his helmet. Additionally, he used “highly illegal square backed bullets” in his Glock. Would someone please tell me what the hell a “square backed bullet” is, illegal or otherwise?
