Frank: 'Don’t Ask, Don't Tell' Repeal Coming in '10

Kerry Eleveld reports that there's a plan and a timetable for repealing "don't ask, don't tell":

Repealing “don’t ask, don’t tell” will likely be included as part of next year’s Department of Defense authorization bill in both chambers of Congress, Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said Wednesday.

“Military issues are always done as part of the overall authorization bill,” Frank said, insisting that this has been the strategy for overturning the policy all along. “'Don’t ask, don’t tell' was always going to be part of the military authorization.”
