Air Force leaders ousted after nuclear weapons failures
Defense Secretary Gates dismissed Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne and General Michael Moseley after an internal report showed a decade of declining nuclear standards. He linked the Taiwan fuse mis shipment and a B 52 misarmed with six nuclear missiles to broader leadership failures. Sen Domenici said Cannon and Holloman bases should not be affected as a new path for the AFSOC mission is pursued. Gates also named a task force headed by James Schlesinger to bolster accountability and control in nuclear handling.
