The New Republic Bogus Story Challenged

I have previously covered this developing story in this previous post. Now, MNF-Iraq has responded to the TNR's claims:

"We are aware of what was written under a pseudonym. Its writer is unknown as
are his motives. We hold soldiers to the highest standards and the
allegations made are completely inconsistent with those expectations. In the absence of any credible information or independent corroboration, we presently have no reason to believe it."
