Navy officer apologizes for unsigned Boorda attack letter
Cmdr. John E. Carey apologized for his unsigned criticism of Adm. Jeremy M. Boorda published in Navy Times three days before Boorda's May suicide. The Times also regrets publishing the piece and will curb anonymous personal attacks. Boorda's widow Bettie Moran Boorda sent a note of thanks to sailors. Carey, once relieved for abusing his crew aboard USS Curtis Wilbur, had called Boorda's death the result of the attack. He had accused Boorda of losing respect and urged resignation. Newsday later reported Carey planned to leave the Navy.
