Ex-Walter Reed Chief to Run Fort Detrick

By DAVID DISHNEAU | Associated Press Writer

HAGERSTOWN, Md. -

A two-star general who was fired as the head of Walter Reed Army
Medical Center amid reports of shoddy treatment of wounded soldiers
will oversee U.S. biological weapons defense research as commander of
Fort Detrick, the Army said Tuesday.

Maj. Gen. George W. Weightman, a physician who works in the Army
surgeon general's office in Falls Church, Va., will command both Fort
Detrick in Frederick and the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel
Command there, Army spokesman Paul Boyce said.

Weightman had been at Walter Reed for six months when The Washington
Post began publishing stories in February about recovering soldiers
languishing in dilapidated housing and their families complaining of
inattentive administrators.

The disclosures forced the resignations of then-Army Secretary Francis
Harvey and then-Army Surgeon General Lt. Gen. Kevin Kiley.

When Weightman was fired from the Army's flagship hospital March 1,
the Army said senior officials "had lost trust and confidence" in his
leadership abilities to solve the problems at Walter Reed.

Oversee U.S. biological weapons defense research as commander of Fort
Detrick? Sure, why not.

Well well well, what an interesting career change!

Interesting to see where the army places its priorities.

We live in an America where incompetence and failure are rewarded,
especially in the media, politics and of course the military.

Bush screwed up on 911, the budget and WMD and he was still reelected.
It's not like we have standards.

A show of hands please:

How many people remember my post wherein I suggested that
maybe the black mould and other problems at Walter Reed hospital
weren't by accident? How many recall me suggesting that it was an
attempt to cover up deaths due to exposure to depleted uranium and
other toxins that vets were exposed to in the Gulf? How many recall
that I mentioned that some symptoms of depleted uranium exposure and
absorption of the spores of black mould are similar?

Bonus points if you recall it all...
