We all know the answer to the title of this thread: incompetence is tolerated when you have an entrenched political power structure. The only rule is don't embarrass (or worse yet, try to overturn) the politically powerful. Has been this way for decades - anyone recall the name Nelson Doi? He was a former Lt.

Completely disappeared from the scene - next I heard of him in the media, he was a Judge... in Guam.
