According to an explosive document, investigators from the U.S. military’s top investigative office found evidence that a Pentagon survey pivotal to the [DADT] repeal was engineered months prior to its release, and was deliberately skewed in later media leaks, with the intention of swaying Congress towards repeal despite opposition from combat troops.
An unredacted version of the April 2011 report by the Defense department’s Inspector General was leaked to the conservative Center for Military Readiness, and a slightly redacted version was confirmed as authentic by a Defense spokesperson to LifeSiteNews.com.
The authors found that Jeh Johnson, a co-chair of the commission handling the survey...breached the document’s non-disclosure agreements by discussing an early draft of the document with “a former news anchor” and “close personal friend” on or around July 4, 2010. The purpose of the meeting, almost six months before the survey’s official end, was to obtain “suggestions for persuasive writing” in addition to syntax and sentence structure, according to investigators.
...the IG reports that the individual said he/she was “pleased that finally the United States was getting around to this idea and I was struck by how many members of the United States Armed Services thought this was just fine.” The individual said that he/she reached the conclusion about troops favoring repeal based on a sentence in the document she saw in July.
However, according to the survey itself, the survey’s 103 questions were not transmitted to troops until July 7, and were available online through August 15.
Further evidence of tampering emerged while investigating a source who breached non-disclosure agreements by leaking survey results to the media weeks before its release. Investigators concluded that, in addition to violating protocol, the source was “not a ‘disinterested party’” and deliberately skewed the information to favor a repeal of DADT.

DADT Ping
I'm shocked.
Hardly surprising.
What ever can push an agenda will be done. If distorting a survey advances the agenda, the liberals will do it.
The MSM does this all the time, by magnifying and distorting anything which denigrates a Republican, while minimizing or ignoring bad news stories about Democrats.
That’s why the military will turn on this bunch when push comes to shove. The administration is so screwed.
A bunch of us here on FR who completed the “survey” have been saying since it was sent out that it was clearly intended to reach a particular result. The only place to say anything negative about the effect of repeal was in a “what else did you want to say?” space at the end. The result was a foregone conclusion.
Sickening.

“...found evidence that a Pentagon survey pivotal to the [DADT] repeal...”
VIOLATION!
You may NOT use any form of the word “pivot” in the course of discussions regarding gays!
Cut spending, spread the troops thin and do anything else that can be done to destroy the military.
Frankly, since people have been charged for lying to Congress in the past, this should certainly be further investigated with such a possibility in mind.

could the remarks not be used against the respondent in fitness reports down the line?

"The public service bug bit him again in 1998 and he accepted an appointment by President Bill Clinton as general counsel of the U.S. Air Force"
"He served as special counsel to John Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004, "
'He also is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations"
Thre is a gay cabal within the military. Ths is how they work. Imagine what they would do in time of war? They need too be routed out, frog marched to the brig, and court marshalled.
Our military cannot operate with a treasonous gay agenda in control of its functions.
I just had a family member denied enlistment because in 8th Grade that fmaily member vandalized a school facility with some other kids. Restitution was paid this family member has never been in any other trouble, goes to church and is over all a good heterosexual person. I suggest they say the family member is gay, the enlistment might have been accepted. Peversion is ok, vandalism is a step below murder in todays Army.

Hmmmm...
Something else that would surprise me would be Congress' repeal of DADT.
my prayer — hope you are RIGHT!
At the time of its release a lot of people down to average citizens knew this report was a fraud. Here is a link to one example.
