Yeah, you make a good point about senior leadership.

Unfortunately, MP's are in very short supply for the War on Terrorism. That's one fact that not enough people have mentioned. In my opinion, this severe shortage is one of the reasons this problem happened -- it was too hard to get MP's, so there weren't enough to go around, and even the bad apples were kept on the job. Looking back, there are more mistakes than any one person can shake a stick at.

It's sad the bad guys have got such a huge propaganda victory from this "scandal." (And by "bad guys" I include the terrorists AND their friends in the anti-American media.)

MPs have always been in short supply

I was an AF SP for over 20 years. Never had enough bodies, and we had to compromise on the bodies we had, often keeping people that didn't belong just to fill manning.

The break with good faith that the senior leadership accepted in this case is inexcuseable.

What it led to is sad. The propaganda victory you speak of is directly caused by their malfeasance
