Well, I scanned the article and to me it's just a repeating pattern on a world stage of what we've seen all too much of here: that is, catch someone in a scandal and then give that person a promotion! For examples: Larry Potts after Waco, the FBI person cited by name in the Colleen Rowley(?) memo tapped to advance, etc.
And, oh yeah, accept a vaccine at your own risk! I understand that in 1979 a hepatitis B vaccine was offered to the gay community in San Francisco. 80% of those receiving it later got AIDS (much greater than the members of AIDS community NOT receiving the vaccine).
Stay in the state of grace and pray!
