…Hooray for Joe Lieberman:
Sen. Joe Lieberman (ID-Conn.) announced Monday that he plans to introduce legislation to repeal of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.“I will be proud to be a sponsor of the important effort to enable patriotic gay Americans to defend our national security and our founding values of freedom and opportunity,” Lieberman said in a statement, noting that he has opposed the policy since it was implemented in 1993 under President Bill Clinton.
“To exclude one group of Americans from serving in the armed forces is contrary to our fundamental principles as outlined in the Declaration of Independence and weakens our defenses by denying our military the service of a large group of Americans who can help our cause,” Lieberman said.
Did he clear this with Aetna first???
