One Joke Rewrite
Air Force Officials Blamed for Lapses in Sexual Assault ReportingWashington Post, December 8, 2004
The Defense Department's top internal auditor yesterday said Air Force leaders over the past decade had failed to acknowledge the severity of sexual harassment at the service's academy in Colorado, causing them to delay appropriate monitoring and corrective action that might have prevented a spate of assaults that burst into public attention last year.
A report by Inspector General Joseph E. Schmitz for the first time pointed fingers at specific Air Force officials who he said shared responsibility for creating, contributing to or tolerating an inadequate program for reporting sexual assaults. Although Schmitz did not name the officials in a public summary of his report, he told lawmakers on Capitol Hill that they include numerous superintendents of the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
...
Schmitz, in a letter to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld dated Dec. 3, said that "we found many leaders in positions of authority who could have been better role models, could have been more vigilant in inspecting those placed under command, failed to guard against and suppress sexual misconduct between and among cadets, . . . and failed to hold cadets accountable for such misconduct. ... Those unaccountable, unnamed superintendents have been promoted to supervisory positions at Guantanamo Bay."
