Pentagon to Announce Curbs on Gay Military Ban
----------------------------------------------



Back in the United States, the Pentagon is expected to announce today
new curbs on the enforcement of the ban on openly gay servicemembers in
the US military. Under the new rules, the military will no longer probe
the sexual orientation of servicemembers based on anonymous complaints,
will restrict third-party testimony, and order a high-level review of
all cases. Administration officials described the measures as temporary
until Congress fully repeals “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
