It was one of the Naval Academy's most closely kept secrets - how the school planned to deal with the discovery that nearly 100 midshipmen were using a military Internet line to swap music and movies illegally.

The superintendent, Vice Adm. Richard J. Naughton, warned a small group of senior leaders that if so much as a word leaked out, "I will kill you," according to a Navy investigation into Naughton's leadership style that led to his resignation last week.
