Gates Orders Probe Into Leak of DADT Survey | The Bilerico Project

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."

"As I survey the wreckage, here are a few predictions for the next couple of years:

• Not one piece of gay-friendly legislation will budge in Congress. Of course, barely one piece of gay-friendly legislation (hate crimes) budged during the past two years, either, despite big Democratic advantages in both chambers.
  Depending on whom you read, DADT repeal is either dead for the upcoming lame duck session or at best on the kind of life support that depends on the kindness of Republicans in the Senate.
• If DADT repeal dies, Obama will act. Disgusted with himself as much as with the intransigence of the reactionaries on Capitol Hill, he will either. . . "
