FOCUS | Col. Ann Wright: Sexual Assault in the Military: A DoD Cover-Up?
http://www.truthout.org/article/sexual-assault-military-a-dod-cover-up
Col. An Wright, writing for Truthdig, says: "There was quite a struggle in
Congress this week. The Department of Defense refused to allow the senior
civilian in charge of its Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO)
to testify in Thursday's hearing on sexual assault in the military. Rep. John
Tierney, chair of the House Subcommittee on National Security and Foreign
Affairs, angrily dismissed Principal Deputy Undersecretary of Defense Michael
Dominguez from the hearing when Dominguez said that he, the DoD chief of
legislative affairs and the chief of public affairs, had ordered Dr. Kaye
Whitley, chief of SAPRO, to refuse to honor the subpoena issued by the
subcommittee for her appearance. "
