“In 2003, we had Abu Ghraib. It became a scandal only because one sergeant put his career on the line and leaked the photos. Another sergeant blew the whistle. Without these two men, the scandal would never have surfaced. One of them took the hit.  Bad news does not easily travel up bureaucracies. Bad news is usually stifled before it gets very far up the chain of command. The guys at the very top really are uninformed. General Shinseki probably had no clue as to what was happening. He was paid his fat salary, he got his perks, and he figured he was doing a great job. The system won’t let bad news go up the chain of command. But this time it escaped.”
