While the Washington Post is reporting that the Air Force is backing Air Force Academy officials , the New York Times is reporting that the Air Force is warning senior officials at the Air Force Academy that they could be held accountable "for complaints by female cadets that they faced indifference or retaliation when they reported rapes and sexual assaults."
Both of these accounts are at odds with the statements of Air Force Secretary James G. Roche last week. Roche "laid full responsibility for charges of sexual misconduct on a "fringe element" of cadets."
Sounds like a classic case of "he said/he said" to us. We hope someone is paying attention to the "she-saids."
