I know we all suspected this, but just FYI:
Dahr Jamail just sent this out on the listserve for the "Daily Dispatches" on Iraq. It confirms his credibility for me.

I recently sent out an announcement which brought attention to a filmed
interview with Jesse MacBeth. Upon further investigation, I found more
questions than answers about the personal history of Mr. MacBeth. I
therefore removed this posting from my website. Iraq Veterans Against
the War <http://www.ivaw.net>, with whom Macbeth was purportedly
associated, have recently released this statement:
He also included this statmement from Iraq Veterans Against the War
IVAW Statement on MacBeth Video
Iraq Veterans Against the War recently learned of a video interview with
Jesse MacBeth that directs viewers to IVAW's website and phone number.
IVAW was not made aware of the creation of this video program and our
input on it was never sought by its producers. Jesse MacBeth is not a
spokesperson for IVAW and any claims made by MacBeth about his service
have not been verified. We are currently investigating these claims and
will have a full statement pending its resolution."
