So...do you think that the Republic will fall because of this???
Personally...it's good for a Nation such as ours to have these things out in the light of day...and sometimes (hell....mostimes) reports in the Military are NOT out in the light...but hidden away to protect General Officers reputations...and promotions.

"but hidden away to protect General Officers reputations..." That hadn't happened in this case. The General (Karpinski) involved had already been removed from her command. Months ago. Now what was it about the light of day, that YOU wanted exposed?

So are you saying given the chance you would have taken the same course of action? That is releasing the photo's while an ongoing investigation is in progress and during a time of War?
