"The Other Walter Reed"

In a two part series, Washington Post reporters Dana Priest and Anne Hull uncover dismal conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. "The common perception of Walter Reed is of a surgical hospital that shines as the crown jewel of military medicine. But 5 &frac12 years of sustained combat have transformed the venerable 113-acre institution into something else entirely -- a holding ground for physically and psychologically damaged outpatients." Priest and Hall interviewed patients, families, veterans aid groups and former Walter Reed staff for four months without permission from Walter Reed officials. Part one and two.
