I find it rather amusing--as a recovering alcoholic myself--that people are all in a tizzy over Joseph Hazelwood being in command of the Exxon Valdez when he had a history of alcoholism, yet John Tower was approved by all the Republican members of the Senate committee.
A person with a history of drinking problems can run the whole Defense Department yet President Bush lets no photo op go by to rail against a more trendy "cause," the drug problem in the United States.
