These sources said there are also questions about whether Franks properly repaid the government for his wife's travel on military aircraft.

Jesus, a five star general can't bring his wife on military aircraft these days without compensating the military for her "fare"? CRIPE!

The article says something about his wife being presesnt during talks about highly classified information. Geez.... I guess things have changed since the cold war.

"Specifically, one person familiar with the allegations said, it has been alleged that Franks allowed his wife to sit in on briefings involving highly classified material at which attendees are permitted only on a "need to know basis."

Four star. Five stars is a special appointment and hasn't been done in fifty years.

Well I understand that is 'technically' a bad thing and that it can't be 'excused'.

Ah, ok. Well, four star...

Franks should consult Hillary Clinton for advice on this troublesome issue.

Uggg...don't get me started on her. I can't believe she is on the Armed Services Committee. I think that is worse that Sen. Pat 'Leaky' Leahy.
