The Army doesn’t want you to see the results of its shady PTSD probe

Last fall, the U.S. Army began an internal review known as the Madigan inquiry (named for the Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Wash.) to see if its own psychiatrists were reversing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnoses on service personnel in an effort to save money. The average cost of a PTSD diagnosis reportedly runs $1.5 million, and there are questions as to whether the Army is trying to avoid "rubber stamping" soldiers who may not be entirely deserving of care. So far, three Seattle newspapers have been denied Freedom of Information Act requests to see the results of the Madigan inquiry, which doesn't look good for the Army.
