That's Captain Moron to you

Time has a column by Mark Thompson about the Enterprise commander:
A Navy official says the service will, at a minimum, relieve Capt. Owen Honors of his post as commander of the USS Enterprise until a probe into the videos he created several years ago when he was serving as the Number Two officer aboard the carrier is completed. The suspension could come as early as Tuesday. It's likely to signal the end of his career.
Question: As this vessel prepares to deploy in support of the nine-year old war in Afghanistan, launched to destroy the Taliban and hunt down and kill or capture Osama bin Laden, is this something that should be foremost on the minds of the 6,000 crew members of the Enterprise? Make no mistake about it: it is all they are talking about tonight.
Update: Other Navy officers say no decision has yet been made regarding Honors' fate...best advice from here: stay tuned.
Rico says the guy's an idiot and shouldn't be running an aircraft carrier... (Isn't there a nice little backwater station, on Greenland, say, that he could run?)
