Defense Secretary William Cohen faulted the military chain of command for not paying enough attention to terrorist threats in the USS Cole bombing case. The Navy found no one to discipline, while Cohen urged broader accountability and better protection for U.S. ships in transit and in port. Cmdr. Kirk Lippold was spared punishment amid questions over missing threat information in Aden harbor.
