Matthew Continetti, editor-in-chief of The Washington Free Beacon website.
This is outdated. Matthew Continetti is no longer the editor-in-chief of The Washington Free Beacon.
Full reasoning
The Washington Free Beacon’s own current "About Us" page says "Its editor in chief is Eliana Johnson." A current bio for Matthew Continetti also describes him in the past tense as "the founding editor and the editor in chief of The Washington Free Beacon," indicating that he previously held that role but does not hold it now. So the article’s present-tense description of Continetti as the site’s editor-in-chief is incorrect.

In June 2006, at the height of the Lebanon War,
The timing is wrong. Kristol's quoted column was published in July 2006, and the 2006 Lebanon War began on July 12, 2006, not in June.
Full reasoning
The quote in question appears in Kristol’s column "Israel's War Is America's War, Too", which CBS/Weekly Standard dates July 21, 2006. A UNIFIL background page describes the 2006 Lebanon War as the conflict during which Lebanese were displaced between 12 July and 14 August. That means the war was underway in July and August 2006; it was not already "at the height" in June 2006. So this clause misdates both Kristol’s statement and the war’s timeline.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) estimated that one million Lebanese were displaced between 12 July and 14 August.

By Brian Goodman July 21, 2006 / 11:35 AM EDT / Weekly Standard ... For that matter, we might consider countering this act of Iranian aggression with a military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. Why wait?
The War Over Iraq: America's Mission and Saddam's Tyranny
The book title is given incorrectly. The actual title is 'The War Over Iraq: Saddam's Tyranny and America's Mission.'
Full reasoning
The article reverses the subtitle of Kristol and Lawrence Kaplan’s 2003 book. A review page at the Mises Institute gives the title as "The War Over Iraq: Saddam's Tyranny and America's Mission", and Encounter Books’ page title matches that wording. So the article’s version, "America's Mission and Saddam's Tyranny," is not the book’s actual title.
