Senior Walter Reed official under investigation because of Wash Post investigation

The guy was in charge of directing private donations to help injured and maimed soldiers. But the allegation is that while he was heading up that job he was also running his own foundation where he, allegedly, was steering potential donors who walked in the door planning to give money to help the injured troops. The allegations go on to say that the guy spent so much time running his foundation that he simply let a lot of the vets and their families languish.

Yeah, I'm sure nobody had heard this guy was trouble until the Washington Post came calling last week. And actually, the guy says he told his superiors what he was doing "from the beginning." Maj. Gen. George W. Weightman, who is in charge of Walter Reed, says it's just not true.

All of this can be settled with a few congressional subpoenas and some testimony under oath.
