Obama will end ‘don’t ask’ policy, aide says

The San Francisco Chronicle:

President Obama will end the 15-year-old “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that has prevented homosexual and bisexual men and women from serving openly within the U.S. military, a spokesman for the president-elect said . . .

“The question isn’t if we do it, and the question isn’t when we do it, it’s how we do it,” said Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Walnut Creek, whose 2006 bill to repeal the ban earned broad support among Democrats in Congress but did not move forward in the face of a near-certain veto by President Bush.

“I’m going to reintroduce the bill in the next few weeks,” Tauscher said. “We’ve got the American people behind us.” . . .
