[Rhodes22-list] Political Reply to Herb

[Hank]

Ed,
 I don't agree with you completely about assigning blame. In my 20 years in 
the army, I participated in many After Action Reviews (AAR) where we 
reviewed an exercise to determine what went wrong. One of the KEY attributes 
of an AAR is non attribution. If people are worried about being found at 
fault and held personally accountable, then what you see is exactly what is 
going on now between all of the politicos. Everyone is trying to blame 
someone else and get the attention focused on others. If the situation is 
studied without assigning blame, then you are more likely to get honest 
answers and cooperation in determining what went wrong and what needs to be 
fixed.
