Earlier this month, The Associated Press reported<\/a> that Four-star General Kevin P. Byrnes was relieved of his position due to alleged sexual misconduct. General Byrnes who was near retirement was assigned as commander of Army Training and Doctrine Command at Fort Monroe, Virginia.<\/p>\nFrom Arianna Huffington in At Rummy’s Bizarro Pentagon, Torture is Rewarded While Sex is a Firing Offense<\/a><\/b>, on August 10, 2005 we read:<\/p>\n Four-star General Kevin Byrnes, the third most senior of the Army’s 11 four-star generals, was sacked over allegations that he had an extramarital affair. Meanwhile, Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez, the senior commander in Iraq during the Abu Ghraib torture and abuse scandal, is being considered for promotion to, yep, four-star general.<\/p>\n Talk about your utterly perverted priorities.<\/b><\/p>\n Now, it long ago became clear that the Bushies inhabit a bizarro, topsy-turvy universe — a place where being utterly wrong about slam-dunk WMD earns you a Medal of Freedom, dismissing a \u201cBin Ladin Determined to Strike in U.S.\u201d memo earns you a promotion to Secretary of State, signing off on torture makes you AG material, another 123 American soldiers being blown up is the mark of an enemy in its \u201clast throes\u201d, and outing an undercover CIA agent (and then lying about it) merits a vote of confidence instead of a pink slip. “\n<\/div>\n \nYes, we agree with Ms Huffington — the hypocrisy is all to obvious and that is the problem. Many have recognized that whatever General Byrnes private life might be, it is unlikely to be the primary reason for his current career crisis. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
