Here is some Wiki on Claudia Kennedy: In 1997, Kennedy was promoted to lieutenant general and named Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence. In 1999, she made a sexual harassment claim against fellow officer General Larry Smith, stemming from an incident in 1996 when she was a major general and he was a brigadier general. Kennedy made the accusation after Smith was slated for promotion to the position of Army deputy Inspector General, the position responsible for investigation of sexual harassment claims. Kennedy claimed that Smith had attempted to grope and kiss her; Smith's appointment to the inspector general's office was later withdrawn. Some service members have criticized Kennedy for waiting three years to file her complaint. [edit] Post military Kennedy retired from the military in June 2000 after 31 years in the Army but under the shadow of her delayed allegations. During the 2000 U.S. presidential election, Kennedy was critical of George W. Bush's military policies, especially as they related to the status of women in the armed forces. According to General Kennedy: "If Mr. Bush becomes president, his campaign platform says he will move us back to a much earlier time."

I know Shelton and his background very well. I find his criticism of Wes Clark appropriate...and would point out that I have a distant post here on this thread identifying Clark's demise as an integrity problem with Rumsfeld. I would be remiss if I failed to point out that Shelton has now made an error and taken a political side early in this political campaign. I hope all these 3 and 4 star general appointees who have done so and lose, really lose. I hope Shelton recovers from his injury. The former Chairman JCS fell off his roof.
