Army officials express serious concerns over the potential repeal of the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy, saying that they need more time to study its implementation.  The policy prohibits self-deemed gays, lesbians, and bisexuals from becoming soldiers, but stops the military from asking about sexual orientation. 

Sen. Joe Lieberman, an Independent from Connecticut, with the support of Pres. Obama, plans to introduce new legislature next week, repealing the previous policy.  It would grant more liberties to homosexuals, allowing them to serve openly.
