The reverse logic of those in power

Tommy Franks and Paul Bremer were awarded a medal for their 'great service' to our country. Stuart Bowen will lose his job for his 'poor service' to this country. All Bowen did was find the errors committed by Franks and Bremer and make them public. I wonder what the powers that be considered the worse crime - finding the errors or telling the public about them.

In today's world incompetence is rewarded. Competence is punished. Is Orwell laughing right about now?
