Via Instapundit:
The commander of the 341st Missile Wing at the time of the failed exercise, Col. Robert Stanley, fired the officer in charge of security. But Stanley himself was later forced to resign amid a scandal related to hundreds of missile officers cheating on exams, as 60 Minutes recently chronicled. Stanley maintained, though, that his officers had failed the drill by only a few seconds and that it was presented in a different way than usual.
Sounds like a reasonable enough defense: they came close to succeeding and they had been thrown a curveball.
But if that is a good defense, why did he fire the guy who was in charge of security?
