A highly-decorated three-star general who dared to dissent from the Rumsfeld party line by saying forces in Iraq and Afghanistan were stretched too thin was forced into retirement and reduced in rank on transparently trivial charges of having allowed contractors to prepare Congressional testimony and do other jobs reserved for public employees.

If Gen. John Riggs is going to get his rank and honor back, someone is going to have to make a fuss.

Over to you, Gen. Clark.

Thanks to a reader for the tip.
