General orders ethics review of US special operations forces

The head of U.S. Special Operations Command has ordered an ethics review of his commando forces, in the wake of a number of recent incidents of bad behavior and criminal allegations against troops. Army Gen. Richard Clarke said that "recent incidents have called our culture and ethics into question and threaten the trust placed in us." And, he said the review will focus on how the command recruits special operators, how it educates and trains the force and how it addresses ethical failures when they occur. Ken McGraw, a spokesman for Special Operations Command, said Monday that Clarke ordered the review last Friday and expects it will be complete by the end of November.
