Uh, aren’t you overlooking the most obvious explanation? The one where Beauchamp’s articles were 100% factual, encrypted with PGP and then transmitted to TNR headquarters, BUT the transmission was intercepted by the NSA who then cracked the PGP and modified the articles to make Beauchamp and TNR look like bumbling incompetent terrorist supporting boobs instead of the patriots that they are? The patriotic studs at TNR wouldn’t have had any reason to doubt that the articles were genuine as they were encrypted and the checksums checked and they couldn’t really verify the “truths” since everything that happens in Iraq, and in the military, is TOP SECRET. That, my friends, is the most likely scenario but it may not have been the NSA, maybe it was aliens from Mars or Uranus…
