Do you consider The New York Times an unreliable source?

An Army investigation into the Baghdad Diarist, a soldier in Iraq who wrote anonymous columns for The New Republic, has concluded that the sometimes shockingly cruel reports were false.

“We are not going into the details of the investigation,” Maj. Steven F. Lamb, deputy public affairs officer in Baghdad, wrote in an e-mail message. “The allegations are false, his platoon and company were interviewed, and no one could substantiate the claims he made.”

How about the Columbia Tribune?

Major Steven Lamb, an Army spokesman, sent several e-mails to the Tribune this week, including one that said Beauchamp’s allegations "were found to be false." He added that Beauchamp’s platoon and company were interviewed, and "no one could substantiate the claims he made."

Lamb declined to elaborate further on the investigation.
