HERSH: Nada. He (Bush) did nothing. And you know what it meant?

Hersh is right. Bush allowed the 'few bad apples" mantra.

HERSH: It’s not a question of seeing the pictures. Once they had the back channel e-mails describing everything, from the field, guys were saying, hey, boss, let me tell you what’s going on.

It was very serious stuff. The messages were all high priority. And they go to Rumsfeld’s military aide, who is now a four-star general running NATO, General Craddock. And the question is, Rumsfeld acknowledged, sort of, in and out — it was unclear in his testimony exactly when he told the president, but certainly, by March, he’s talking to the president quite a bit about this.

BLITZER: This was before your article?

HERSH: Oh, my God, two months. Is it possible — you know, the question you have to ask about the president is this. No matter when he learned, and certainly he learned before it became public, and no matter how detailed it was, is there any evidence that the president of the United States said to Rumsfeld, what’s going on there, Don? Let’s get an investigation going.

Did he do anything? Did he ask for a — did he want to have the generals come in and talk to him about it?

Did he want to change the rules? Did he want to improve the conditions?

BLITZER: And what’s the answer?

HERSH: Nada. He did nothing. And you know what it meant?

Inside the chain of command, the military, you get a bad case like this; it’s all known inside; nobody at the top says another word to you. Everybody understands one thing: this is not a way to get ahead in a career, to start being very tough…

1. I am not shocked. This type thing seems to be in Bush's nature.

Does any one get the feeling that the frat house is running this govt. with a few over sexed, ego driving men who are always right, slapping each other backs on how right they aways are? It seems to be a closed club of all the c students with a rich father who are running us right in to the ground.We are going back to rule by birth right and for get talent. Odd as a lot of the world found out talent works better and the modern society doing well seems to be moving to wards that
