Bredesen's failure of leadership

As public opinion turns against the Bredesen administration because of its continuing scandals including the most recent THP illegal background checks, a letter writer sums up public perception:

It's obvious from their stance on this very serious subject that they are incapable of viable leadership. The THP continues to reap the negative fallout of their unethical ways and lackadaisical attitude toward the professionalism and highest of morals that should exemplify the THP standard, but obviously doesn't.

I wonder just what would transpire behind the closed doors of the THP if it weren't for a diligent media probing and constantly exposing the questionable machinations of various government agencies?
