Gotta Give 'em Credit

The Bush adminstration is saying all the right things about the Air Force Academy rapes. They say they'll investigate, blah, blah...then they go and do this. They appoint one of the founders of the anti-feminist, anti-women-in-combat, Independent Women's Forum as the executive director. Apparently she's in charge of finding out what's wrong and to make sure it doesn't happen again.

If her final report doesn't come back suggesting that women not be admitted or in a separate academy, I'll fucking faint.

Another member of the panel, Amy McCarthy, has already set the tone: The panel has already come under scrutiny because another member, Amy McCarthy, has said some of the female cadets' allegations may be suspect because some engaged in "high-risk behaviors."

"Rape is wrong," McCarthy, an academy graduate who lives in Littleton, said Friday. "I'm not trying to blame the victim here. What I'm talking about is a woman who drank too much and woke up and said, 'Oh my God.' I will be as objective as possible about this."

Because as we all know, getting drunk is a good excuse for getting raped. ARGH!!!!!!
