Profile in something

I'm not sure courage is the word I am looking for.

Kevin Kiley, the three-star general (editor's note: terminal pay grade in this case) in charge of all Army medical facilities, seemed stumped as he testified yesterday about his responsibility for the Walter Reed scandal.

• "I'm trying not to say that I'm not accountable," he told members of the House oversight committee.
• "I don't do barracks inspections at Walter Reed," he said.
• "In my role as the MedCom commander," he said, "Walter Reed was not my only command."
• "My staff informed me that the Walter Reed staff was working it."
• "I command by commanding through my commanders and trusting them to execute the mission."
• "I don't get involved at my level . . . at an individual issue."

Read the whole thing to get a better perspective on the other General in question - one who is saying and doing the right thing - BG Weightman.

Guess who has been fired - and who has not.
