Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (DCNO) Vice Adm. Joseph Sestak was “administratively reassigned” July 25 by new Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Mullen, according to Rear Adm. T. McCreary, chief of naval information.
“Rear Adm. Mark Edwards, currently serving as director of the Surface Warfare Division, will serve as the acting DCNO until such time as a relief can be identified, nominated and confirmed,” McCreary said.
A source within the Navy Department said there were no allegations of misconduct on the part of Sestak. Rather, he said, the move is being made because of poor command climate.

I read it as "Clintonista politico creates poor command climate in the US Navy!" Let's remember that Sestak was on Sandy Burglar's NSC staff (leading to the Burglarites to hold their recent fundraiser for Sestak), and can almost certainly be viewed as one of the trojan horse "moles" that the Clintonistas forced into high levels of the bureaucracy as they prepared to leave town.
