The Politics of GOP Terrorism: (Why Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal May Die) | The New Civil Rights Movement

Well, All That Was Fun, But Here’s Why “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” Repeal Won’t Happen — Maybe For Years

What do you call a group that uses threats, condones repression, and takes hostages?
After a promise by the President to “work with Congress” to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” after an exhaustive $4.5 million study that was released just yesterday, after DADT was declared unconstitutional by a federal judge months ago, after dozens of high-ranking military leaders, along with dozens of Senators and Congressmen, put their careers on the line to support gay and lesbian soldier who put their lives on the line, here’s why “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” will remain law into the next decade of the twenty-first century: the GOP.
Yes, that’s right, the GOP. Specifically, the Republican Senate, all forty-two members who signed a letter stating they will allow no legislation to pass until the Bush tax cuts are extended and the government is funded into the new year.GOP: Terrorist Group?

Defense Sec. Robert Gates is not happy that findings from the Pentagon's survey on the impact of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal were leaked and has ordered an investigation to find the source,  according to American Forces Press Service.


Gates is "very concerned and extremely disappointed" that selective aspects of Comprehensive Review Working Group's draft findings were revealed, Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell said in a statement, "presumably to shape perceptions of the report prior to its release." The survey is due Dec. 1.

"[Gates] made it clear [in March when the survey was launched] and throughout this process that it was 'critical that this effort be carried out in a professional, thorough and dispassionate manner,'" Morrell said. "He has also stated clearly that ‘given the political dimension of this issue, it is equally critical that ... every effort be made to shield our men and women in uniform and their families from those aspects of this debate.'....Anonymous sources now risk undermining the integrity of this process."
Gates "strongly condemns the unauthorized" leak and has ordered an investigation to find out "who communicated with the Washington Post or any other news organization without authorization and in violation of Department policy and his specific instruction."
