The IG went on to say: “We consider it likely that the primary source disclosed content from the draft Report with the intent to shape a pro-repeal perception of the draft Report prior to its release to gain momentum in support of a legislative change during the ‘lame duck’ session of Congress following the Nov. 2, 2010, elections.”

The Washington Times version has a tilt that suggest that the swing GOP leaders were 'tricked' into believing that a repeal would be positive for the military.
These elected officials... These policy makers... These representatives of 'we the people'... Is it normal that they frame decisions of this magnitude on the results of a study that they were given/leaked/whispered in the hallway? Are they not independent thinkers? Are they not capable of critical thought? Are we to just brush away the fact that they made this decision because they 'were tricked'.
I guess they are not responsible for their actions then.
This brings to mind a story I once heard. A friends ex wife had an ex who admitted to her many years ago that a 30 year old man had 'tricked' him into sodomy when he was 18.
Personally, I think the 'tricked' guy is gay and I think these politicians are sheeple too.
