Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipients

President Bush awarded Tommy Franks, George Tenet and Paul Bremer the Presidential Medal of Freedom today for the work they did in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It's usually handed out in a batch, in the summer (for the past few years). Bush handed out 11 in July this year.

Is Bush politicizing the medals? Maybe, but I can't get too exercised about it, because the award has aleady been given to Rita Moreno. If Anita from West Side Story gets the Medal of Freedom, then, yeah, sure, add Franks, Tenet and Bremer to that list.
