Who Leaked Pentagon DADT Study?

Defense secretary Robert Gates has launched an investigation into a leak of the Pentagon Working Group study's results on "don't ask, don't tell," scheduled for official release December 1.

"The secretary strongly condemns the unauthorized release of information related to this report and has directed an investigation to establish who communicated with The Washington Post or any other news organization without authorization and in violation of Department policy and his specific instruction," Gates's press secretary, Geoff Morrell, said in a Friday statement.

Details of the study, according to a Thursday report by the Post, found that the majority of service members surveyed said that ending DADT would have minimal risk on readiness and unit cohesion in the armed forces.
