Howe plied the victim with alcohol and filmed some of the sex acts at the school.

He contended that openly gay soldiers undermine military effectiveness. The general has since apologized for his comments after apparently getting his mind right. Nevertheless, as Congress and the president have renewed their push for the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) and the Secretary of Defense has offered tepid support, perhaps his original statement merits more careful consideration. The story General Sheehan told the Senate involved a Dutch military unit responsible for guarding…
