I now keep the paper towels and Windex right next to the computer monitor, for exactly this reason. My keyboards, however, are not doing so well….

….The death last October of Lt. Kara Hultgreen in an F-14 crash was blamed by Dalton on engine failure. From newspaper reports based on naval documents, it now appears that Lt. Hultgreen was killed by Dalton’s quota policy, which allowed her to remain airborne after she had failed performance tests that would have washed a male out of flight school.The Navy has tried to cover up its different gender standards by insisting that pilot error did not cause Hultgreen’s tragic crash. To help make this case, male pilots selected to replicate Hultgreen’s crash in a ground simulator were ordered not to follow the mandatory procedures for averting a crash in situations comparable to the one that resulted in Lt. Hultgreen’s death. According to information obtained by Robert J. Caldwell of the San Diego Union, the simulator tests were rigged and the results were used by Navy spokesmen to absolve the late Lt. Hultgreen of pilot error…..

....Elaine Donnelly is president of the Center for Military Readiness and a former member of the 1992 Presidential Commission on Women in the Armed Forces. Shortly after the Navy started dissembling about the fatal crash, Lt. Hultgreen's training records and performance reviews were leaked to Donnelly, who also obtained internal Navy investigative documents cataloguing a series of pilot errors culminating in the crash.
After verifying that the information was authentic, Donnelly issued a special report, "Double Standards in Naval Aviation." She shows that Hultgreen was whisked through flight school despite failing grades and a record of serious problems, apparently because she was needed to meet a female quota. Donnelly's report contains about 100 pages of photocopies of internal Navy documents that cast doubt on Navy Secretary Dalton's account of Hultgreen's death. The report also chronicles a pattern of disinformation that the Navy has put out about Hultgreen's crash, disinformation that is continuing today.....
