A Former Big Lake Citizen Gone Great…
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and his response to Walter Reed:
It is to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates' credit that he has acted so quickly, efficiently and, yes, ruthlessly to set things right at Walter Reed. Gates' course has been a wise one. His firings have been more than symbolic. Both the general in charge of Walter Reed and the secretary of the Army have tendered their resignations. This is a welcome indication that, at least as far as this matter is concerned, "accountability" won't be limited just to the lowest member of the hierarchy that it can be plausibly pinned on.
