In response to the revelation that U.S. Navy Captain Owen Honors produced a series of lewd videos while serving as the executive officer on board the U.S.S. Enterprise, the Navy has cashiered him. And swiftly at that: 48 hours after the videos went viral on the internet, Honors was relieved of duty, despite the fact that the Enterprise's departure for Afghanistan was imminent.
But that shouldn't be the end of the story. As the executive officer, Honors was merely second-in-command at the time the videos were produced. According to the Washington Post's Greg Jaffe, the scrutiny has extended to the men who served as Honors's superiors at the time of the incident:
U.S. Fleet Forces Commander, Admiral John C. Harvey will lead a broader investigation into whether other senior Navy officials knew about the four-year-old videos, which aired on the ship's closed-circuit television, and why they failed to take disciplinary action against Honors. The probe is likely to focus on whether Rear Adm. Lawrence Rice, who was captain of the ship in 2007, and his immediate commander, now-retired Rear Adm. Raymond A. Spicer, had seen the videos or received complaints about them.
