"Don't ask, don't tell" almost a thing of the past [video]
It looks like the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy is all but lifted.
The Pentagon's top uniformed officer, Adm. Mike Mullen, told the Senate Tuesday he's personally opposed to the policy that requires gays and lesbians to lie about their sexual orientation.
Colin Powell also shifted gears on Wednesday and said he now opposes "don't ask, don't tell" as well.
"In the almost 17 years since the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ legislation was passed, attitudes and circumstances have changed,” General Powell said in a statement issued by his office. He added: “I fully support the new approach presented to the Senate Armed Services Committee this week by Secretary of Defense Gates and Admiral Mullen.”
President Obama made the repeal one of his campaign platform issues. Many expected it to have already been checked off his list.
