Karpinski is a perfect example of an affirmative action promotion. A perfect example of the Peter Principle.
She was totally incompetent and never should have held the rank and responsiblity with which she was entrusted.
Despite all this, this individual knows the best defense is to go on the attack, which is what the "General" (HAH!) is doing here. Blame everyone else.
She's still proving her incompetence. Current high profile cases ( Kobe, Jackson, Stewart, etc. ) should tell her and the others something. The celebs are keeping their mouths shut on advice of their multi megabuck lawyers. What little they have already said is being used against them. If it's a good idea for the celebrities then why shouldn't the same apply to the military personnel facing trial?
