the most serious may be that Franks allowed his wife, Cathy, to be present during discussions of highly classified material. These sources said there are also questions about whether Franks properly repaid the government for his wife's travel on military aircraft.

========================

Sounds familiar, huh, Hillary?

There used to be some very serious problems with wives wearing the husbands rank on their shoulder. There were certain wives that brought a chill to everything the
ranking person did. We knew just who the b**** was before the new commander arrived. Her reputation arrived months before her. Most wives are fully supportive and helpful. It looks as though Mrs. Franks may be on the "A" list and her
actions and his inablity to separate her out from his assignment may cost him dearly. His staff should never put up with a wife sitting in on anything regarding his position. She is not alone in her power grab. She has company. He is one of the few I have heard of allowing
his spouse to be in on military issues. Usually they are involved in the social issues.
