Quote du Jour: Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY)

"For some reason, the military seems more afraid of gay people than they are against terrorists. They're very brave with the terrorists. And if the terrorists ever got a hold of this information, they'd get a platoon of lesbians to chase us out of Baghdad."

-- to Secretary Rice in a House hearing today, as prelude to a suggestion that the State Dept. consider hiring Arab and Farsi linguists fired by Defense (due to "don't ask; don't tell") to cover their shortage of such specialists.
