Well, with something so public and damning, an organization so exposed to public opinion has to _do Something_ --even if that includes collateral damage or whether it actually accomplishes something internally. It has to do something for public relations reasons, if nothing else. That's not being cynical, that's just how it is. It's not very different from companies who sell directly to the public having to fire people who make inexcusable statements which become public --it's not as though in private, out of customer's earshots, lot's of unbecoming things aren't said. But when something becomes public, they have to do something, with cause or not.
