Don't Need "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

A welcome political note from 'The Language Blog' which normally covers more scholarly matters. Although in this case there seems to be a nice overlap. On a personal as well as a tactical level, can't say I agree more with this decision. Score another win for brains over idiology for team O. 

No more "don't ask, don't tell"

(the oft) commented ... foolishness of the US policy of discharging badly needed Arabic interpreters and other soldiers who reveal that they are gay. It looks like this won't be coming up again. President-elect Obama has now definitively stated that he will eliminate the current "don't ask, don't tell" policy. It won't happen immediately though as a change in legislation is required.
