Gates Moves On "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

With the assumption that Congress will eventually repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", Defense Secretary Robert Gates will severely restrict or stop investigating case of homosexuals in the military:
the military will no longer investigate the sexual orientation of service members based on anonymous complaints, will restrict testimony from third parties and will require high-ranking officers to review all cases, sources familiar with the changes said.
An interesting move by Secretary Gates, but it is obviously an overt sign of support, regardless of the Congress, for a policy that the President supports.
