Baghdad Diarist Story Getting WeirderTNR has
tried to relocate the "melted woman" story to a camp in Kuwait. According to
the Weekly Standard:
We now know that, at the very least, the New Republic's Scott Beauchamp lied about the timing and location of the ridiculing of a disfigured woman in a U.S. mess hall--the incident, if it happened, took place in Kuwait, Beauchamp now says, before he had the opportunity to experience the "morally distorting" effects of war.
But like OJ's glove, this doesn't fit the theme, which is that Beauchamp was made callous by his experiences in Iraq.
