the bob woodruff report
on injured war vets and the va hospital system (by the abc anchor nearly killed last year on assignment in iraq). i missed it when broadcast earlier this week. i heard it was good. it's even better than that. abc has the entire show in short, commercial-free segments here. it's a powerfull and timely program.

The Walter Reed situation is horrible, lots of "reorganization" (resignations, firings) going on over it. Hopefully, things will get straightened out.
It's really bad, and there is no excuse for it.

For the first time Bush says something I agree with.
Unacceptable. And the new SecDef is backing it up with immediate action. Heads are rolling and not just low level heads. Any change this brings to the VA has to be for the better because it couldn't get any worse. |

same shit, different policy failure:

1)Long-festering, mismanaged policy bomb blows up in the Administration's face 2)Bush appoints bi-partisan blue-ribbon commission to spread blame and appease critics 3)Commission studies problem for months and makes recommendations 4)Interest groups, political factions, and constituents adversely affected by recommendations work to torpedo same 5)Reform is quietly shelved after story fades from headlines |

As pointed out heads are rolling, and not trivial heads at that. What has happened is disgraceful, I doubt that it's just going to be "swept under the rug" and go away. The American people are not likely to let that happen. Those soldiers deserve far better than what they are getting. Of course, the test of time will tell.

crisis, loss, hope, repeat
pardon my cynicism. we have seen the 9/11 Commission, the Commission to Strengthen Social Security, the Iraq Study Group, the Intelligence Commission, the National Commission on Energy Policy, and the Tax Reform Commission.
a "bipartisan commission" has become a euphemism for the absence of leadership on a given issue. Quote:
