Pentagon mulls easing ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ law: Gates – Yahoo! News.

Gates offered as an example “when we’re given information from someone with vengeance in mind or blackmail, somebody who has been jilted.

“If somebody is outed by a third party, does that force us to take action?” he said.

“That’s the kind of thing we’re looking at — seeing if there’s a more humane way to apply the law until it gets changed.”

Ok.  I appreciate the spirit of the idea here, but honestly, this would be a dumb move.  Or a very smart one, depending on your perspective.  If the new policy is that the president’s hand is not forced if someone is outed for less than honest reasons – the best thing for gay activists to do is out military personnel.  A subversive undoing of  DADT.

If that’s the president’s plan, then good.  But then I sure do wish he’d come up with a subversive way to get us a solid health plan.
