You should know, dear reader, we are not among those who despised ADM Jeremy "Mike" Boorda. In fact, we did and always will admire this fine man, who went all the way from Seaman to Chief of Naval Operations. No one has done it before, and it's very likely no one else will accomplish such a feat in the future. ADM Boorda deserves our respect and remembrance as a great leader who deeply cared about his sailors and country. On this, the 16th anniversary of his mysterious death, we should mourn his loss, but also demand the Pentagon come clean...

Francis Gary Powers - we'd already completed much of the research into the first inductee into our HALL OF SHAME.

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into the disappearance of U.S. Air Force Maj. Jill Metzger, who went missing for three days last month in Kyrgyzstan. FBI officials told FOX News that Metzger's disappearance is being investigated by the FBI, and the center of the investigation appears to be the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia in Alexandria.

Metzger claims that while shopping at the TSUM department store for souvenirs before a scheduled...

Jill Metzger, the horses are riderless, the shops unvisited — and the troops disgruntled. For the first extended period since Americans built the base in 2001, because of Metzger’s experience and her alleged abduction,...
