Talking About Gays Helps the Terrorists

With the Senate considering hearings on whether to change the military's "don't-ask-don't-tell" policy on homosexual soldiers, Senator Ron Wyden recently sent a letter on the topic to David Chu, Undersecretary for Personnel and Readiness at the Department of Defense. Chu responded with this letter, obtained and helpfully posted online by ABC News. In it, Chu warns that the mere discussion of the policy undermines the War on Terror:

The Global War on Terrorism is far-reaching and unrelenting.... A national debate on changing {the policy}, with the accompanying divisiveness and turbulence across our country, will compound the burden of the war.
