Maj. Gen. Weightman takes the Janis Karpinski dive

or, more accurately, was thrown under the same bus that ran over janis karpinski...
The Army said Thursday that the two-star general in charge of Walter Reed Army Medical Center has been relieved of command following disclosures about inadequate treatment of wounded soldiers.

Maj. Gen. George W. Weightman, who was commanding general of the North Atlantic Regional Medical Command as well as Walter Reed hospital, was relieved of command by Army Secretary Francis J. Harvey.

it's the same story as abu ghraib... go after the poor sap who was probably trying to do his best with inadequate resources, a constantly-declining budget, and a massively increasing workload, instead of the worthless s.o.b.'s up the chain of commmand who put him in that situation...
