Has the Crittenden Report been in circulation for all to read?

It is important to mention that Dr. Lawrence Korb was a former Undersecretary of Defense for Manpower and Logistics under the REAGAN Administration, and he wrote the pre-DADT policy on gays in the military in January 1982, Department of Defense Directive 1332.14. He then witnessed how the executive order was overzealously enforced in the 1980s and evenutally concluded that it was wrong. He came out for its full repeal in 1993.

What a great opportunity for these distinguished Americans to counter the unproven assumption that LGBT personnel are a threat to unit cohesion, good order and discipline, and recruiting! Old prejudices have a lingering death, but these panelists are superbly capable of administering a lethal dose of medicine.
