Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell had a press briefing today. Here are the highlights:
1. An announcement is expected sometime this week from Gates on Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
2. In regards to the New York Times story about Michael Furlong, the DoD official accused of running his own spy-ring in Afghanistan/Pakistan- Morrell says there is going to be a team established to quickly review if there are any systemic changes that can be made to prevent this from happening in the future. Stops short of calling it an investigation.
3. Despite reports that Iran has been heavily involved with funding/ training of the Taliban, Morrell says the contribution is minimal and includes weapons and explosives etc.
