A Montana senator who is running for re-election suggested Wednesday that medication he took for post-traumatic stress disorder after service in Iraq may have been responsible for apparently plagiarized passages in his thesis.
Montana Sen. John Walsh's thesis, which was written to earn a master's degree from the U.S. Army War College, contains unattributed passages taken word-for-word from previously published papers.

The Democrat also said he was dealing with the stress of a fellow veteran's recent suicide.
Walsh said he made an unintentional mistake and did not intend to plagiarism.



I hope This guy looses !!!

Sen. John Walsh remained steadfast Thursday amid an investigation into whether he plagiarized a research project required for a master's degree, winning fresh backing from fellow Democrats in Montana and the governor who appointed him to the Senate earlier this year.


The U.S. Army War College said in a statement late Thursday it will examine evidence that Walsh included both conclusions and verbatim passages from the writings of other scholars in his 2007 paper, known as a strategy research project.


"The Army War College initiated its own analysis of the paper and determined this morning that there was reasonable cause to refer the case to the US Army War College Academic Review Board," the statement said.


Walsh, the only senator who served in the Iraq war, is seeking election in a race that top Democratic strategists — prior to the plagiarism revelations — saw as an uphill battle and unlikely to provide one of the seats the party needs to hold onto its majority.


There is only a short time for Walsh, Bullock and their Democratic colleagues to decide whether the allegations are too toxic for Walsh to survive. A candidate has until Aug. 11 to withdraw from this year's contest, and the state party has until Aug. 20 to name a replacement candidate, said Montana Secretary of State Linda McCulloch.


If Walsh decides to drop out after the ballots are certified on Aug. 21, a new candidate can't be appointed and Walsh's name will stay on the ballot, she said.


The plagiarism allegation is the second potentially damaging issue raised this year about the senator's 33-year military career, which has been a cornerstone of his campaign. It was first questioned in January when records revealed the Army reprimanded him in 2010 for pressuring Guardsmen to join a private association for which he was seeking a leadership role.


"It goes right to his strength — his military record and his integrity," said Montana State University political science professor David Parker. "He was willing to take somebody's words and make them his own. That's a question of honor."


The first page of Walsh's paper borrows heavily from a 2003 article in Foreign Affairs, while all six of the recommendations Walsh listed at the end of his paper are taken nearly word-for-word without attribution from a paper published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Another section is nearly identical to about 600 words from a 1998 paper published by a research institute at Harvard University.


Walsh submitted his thesis, titled "The Case for Democracy as a Long Term National Strategy," nearly two years after he returned from Iraq and about a year before he became Montana's adjutant general overseeing the state's National Guard and Department of Military Affairs.


The college's student handbook includes pages of warnings against plagiarism and details on how to properly cite sources, noting a student "should always quote when lifting five consecutive words from a source."


"Sooner or later, academic dishonesty will be discovered," the handbook states. "Plagiarism is a serious offense that can ruin a person's reputation and career."

I find it hard to believe an Army Officer would sink so low as to be a dim...but if the allegations, are true...he should resign his Senate seat immediately and insist any rank increase...associated with his masters degree...be reduced as if he never received the degree.

That just a long way around saying that Bush did it...   Hoosiers favorite cop out when he loses a debate, or runs out of foul language.

Jim, did you notice this.....


Walsh submitted his thesis, titled "The Case for Democracy as a Long Term National Strategy," nearly two years after he returned from Iraq and about a year before he became Montana's adjutant general overseeing the state's National Guard and Department of Military Affairs.



If he was suffering from a drug problem, how or why was he named the adjutant general overseeing the state's National Guard and Department of Military Affairs?  If he was not able to meet the requirements for a thesis due to a drug issue, then how was he going to be able to meet the requirements of overseeing the state's National Guard and Department of Military Affairs?  And then just a couple of years later appointed a US Senator.
