quote:

An examination of the final paper required for Mr. Walsh’s master’s degree from the United States Army War College indicates the senator appropriated at least a quarter of his thesis on American Middle East policy from other authors’ works, with no attribution.
quote:

Most strikingly, the six recommendations Mr. Walsh laid out at the conclusion of his 14-page paper, titled “The Case for Democracy as a Long Term National Strategy,” are taken nearly word-for-word without attribution from a Carnegie Endowment for International Peace document on the same topic.


Walsh is well behind in the polls already. Now, he certainly won't be catching up.

How do you get away with plagiarism at Army War College?

Screwed in Montana, but with the number of tax cheats Obama nominated for Treasury positions he could made a good Secretary of Education.

I wouldn't vote for him even if that piece of shite wasn't plagiarized. What a bunch of thrown-together neocon hackery

He now says he was suffering from the effects of PTSD when he wrote it.

We should be more surprised when we find out representatives are not frauds.

I actually saw this story earlier today on the Army Times and was hoping (hoping) that no one would post it.
