Kinda like Abu Ghraib?

Where the low ranking officers get punished but not the people who were responsible for the action itself?

Washington, DC (AHN) - The U.S. Air Force plans to relieve four officers of duty after an incident where six nuclear-armed cruise missiles were lost. The missiles were flown across the the country in a B-52 bomber.

More than 60 Air Force personnel have had their nuclear security clearances taken away because of the incident. Defense Department officials say procedures for handling such missiles were not followed.

The cruise missiles were supposed to be carrying dummy warheads and were to have been transferred from North Dakota's Minot Air Force Base to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.

Six of the missiles, though, had nuclear warheads with more than 50 times the power of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The missiles also reportedly sat in the plane for hours before the mistake was discovered.

Or are these officers being punished only because the story was leaked to the press? Have the higher-ups answered the question as to WHY they were being shifted in the first place against international law? Does this have anything to do with Cheney and Iran?
