Right Steps on Military Sexual Assault

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Monday announced several encouraging
steps to fight sexual
assault http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=67954 in
the military. The most notable is the requirement that complaints be
handled by senior officers — colonels or Navy captains — instead of
lower-ranking officers who are often ill equipped or reluctant to pursue
assault cases.
