...Brass-Hat Rebellion Your story on the growing number of retired generals calling for Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to resign [April 24] showed that our military's patriotism, diligence and other commendable character traits are of little value to the nation when our civilian leaders have poor judgment.

(Acting chief Christopher McGaffin later said the senior officer had shown "poor judgment" and was disciplined.) Strangest of all, Kennedy claimed, "I simply do not remember" the incident. He blamed the sleeping pill Ambien and the gastrointestinal drug Phenergan and checked himself into the Mayo Clinic, where he had been treated in December for addiction to prescription painkillers...
