House panel blasts DOD over response to sexual assault claims
House members infuriated by slow progress on the military's response to sexual assault claims accused defense leaders of a cover-up and tossed a senior department official from a Thursday hearing on the issue.

"Years of inaction at the DOD continue to speak volumes about senior leadership's commitment to our servicemembers and civil servants," said Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn. "When it comes to sexual assault in the military, the DOD has absolutely no credibility.

"I really hope heads roll."
