Matt Sanchez sent me a note on his latest report from an Air Force hospital in Iraq after seeing the post in which I pointed out Franlkin Foer's juvenile attempt to bash a critic.
Foer, an editor of a once prestigious magazine, behaved like a petty, vile little fellow with that unnecessary shot. One can only imagine what a small man he really is. Clearly he can't provide the ethical, or moral leadership TNR needs to rehabilitate itself, especially given the Stephen Glass affair. As long as Foer keeps his job, TNR will not recover its prestige.
It's a sad irony that while many on the Right appreciate Matt's work, it's the allegedly tolerant and liberal Left, as represented in this case by Foer, that felt compelled to judge and smear in an attempt to redeem itself. Maybe that's what the once pro-war TNR was attempting to do with Beauchamp's diaries - redeem itself with the Left by running down the troops in a war it once supported. See Matt's latest here.
