Walter Reed Commander Knew of Neglect For Years

Excerpts from a Dana Priest article in this morning's Washington Post:

Top officials at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, including the Army's surgeon general, have heard complaints about outpatient neglect from family members, veterans groups and members of Congress for more than three years.

...as far back as 2003, the commander of Walter Reed, Lt. Gen. Kevin C. Kiley, who is now the Army's top medical officer, was told that soldiers who were wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan were languishing and lost on the grounds, according to interviews.

Rep. C.W. Bill Young (Republican-FL) and his wife...once visited a soldier who was lying in urine on his mattress pad in the hospital.

Absolutely shameful, the way this administration treats the men and women who come back from Iraq maimed and broken.
