Scandals at the VA

This week we’re talking about investigating veterans issues, past and present. Here’s the lineup: - Dennis Wagner of the Arizona Republic discusses how he helped break open the most recent scandal involving falsified wait-time data at the Phoenix VA hospital. - Aaron Glantz of the Center for Investigative Reporting talks about benefit backlogs at the Veterans Benefits Administration. - Michael Phillips of the Wall Street Journal walks through his 2013 series “The Lobotomy Files.” Using documents from the National Archive, Phillips was able to document how the U.S. lobotomized approximately 2,000 World War II veterans.
