About the horrors of patient treatment. This is a continuation of the Dana Priest series that shocked the country. So far the Pentagon’s reaction has been to crack down on, and make things worse, for the patient/soldiers.
Kiley lives across the street from Building 18. From his quarters, he can see the scrappy building and busy traffic the soldiers must cross to get to the 113-acre post. At a news conference last week, Kiley, who declined several requests for interviews for this article, said that the problems of Building 18 “weren’t serious and there weren’t a lot of them.” He also said they were not “emblematic of a process of Walter Reed that has abandoned soldiers and their families.”
UPDATE: Walter Reed commander is fired. KILEY, QUOTED ABOVE IN BOLD, IS NOW THE HEAD OF WALTER REED.
