Judge rules against 'don't ask, don't tell'
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — For the first time, a federal judge declared unconstitutional the Clinton administration's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays in the military, barring the Pentagon yesterday from discharging six homosexuals.
U. S. District Judge Eugene Nickerson said the policy was "nothing short of Orwellian" because it equated sexual orientation with misconduct.
"To presume from a person's status that he or she will commit undesirable acts is an extreme measure," he wrote. "Hitter taught the world what could happen when the government began to target people not for what they had done but because of their status."
Lawyers for the plaintiffs welcomed the ruling but cautioned that
it applied only to the six people in the case and didn't prevent the Pentagon from taking action against other homosexuals.
"We don't want people to read the paper and think they can come out tomorrow," said Beatrice Dohrn, legal director of the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, which helped represent the plaintiffs.
Justice Department representative Carl Stern said the government would appeal.
"We believe the challenged policy is constitutional, and we remain committed to defending it," he said.
Under the "don't ask, don't tell, don't pursue" policy, gays can serve as long as they keep their sexual orientation to themselves and do not engage in homosexual acts. Otherwise, they can be honorably discharged. In addition, commanders may not ask a service member his or
The Clinton administrator adopted the policy in 1993 as a compromise between the views of gayrights advocates and those flatly opposed to gays in the military. Previously, the Pentagon rooted out homosexuals as a threat to morale and fighting ability.
her sexual orientation.
The judge said the new policy violated the constitutional rights to free speech and equal protection. "The policy ... is not only inherently deceptive, it also offers powerful inducements to homosexuals to lie." Nickerson said.
The government, he said, failed to prove its key argument that homosexuals, by their presence, could harm a military unit's cohesion.
"Even if defendants do believe that heterosexual service members will be so upset by a co-worker's mere statement of homosexuality as not
to work cooperatively in the unit, such a belief does not justify a discriminatory policy," Nickerson wrote.
None of the five men and one woman could be reached for comment. Their lawyers said they did not wish to make statements.
The military had begun discharge proceedings against three of the six, who include two enlisted in the Navy on active duty and four reservists — a Navy commander, an Army captain, an Army sergeant and an Army lieutenant colonel.
"This is an important first step in the fight, but it's not over. Thousands and thousands of other lesbians and gays need to know that, at least for the time being," said Matthew Coles, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer who argued the case for the plaintiffs earlier this month.
Pope condemns all abortions and euthanasia

John Paul, as he addresses himself to politicians, declared that abortion and euthanasia are crimes that no human law could claim to legitimize.
VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II yesterday denounced a spreading culture of death in an encyclical that represents the church's most forceful condemnation of abortion, euthanasia and capital punishment.
"Evangelium vitae," or "Gospel of Life," the 11th encyclical of John Paul's 16-year papacy, also refines the Church's stand on the death penalty, saying its justification is very rare, if not practically nonexistent.
Encyclicals address matters reserved for the most important papal declarations.
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the Vatican's guardian of orthodoxy, said the encyclical went beyond the 1992 revision of the Catechism in hardening the stance against capital punishment.
As for abortion and euthanasia, the encyclical is not a pronouncement of new doctrine, because the Church already condemned those practices, Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Truillo said. Rather, he said, it is a systematic defense, broader and stronger of the fundamental right to life.
The encyclical grew out of a request by a meeting of cardinals in 1991 who asked the pope to help combat a culture they said was increasingly geared toward attacks
on life. Publication of the encyclical follows the vigorous Vatican campaign to try to influence positions on abortion and birth control at last September's U.N. population conference in Cairo, Egypt.
The new encyclical restates the Vatican's ban on birth control and notes that the pope is aware of the assertion that contraception, if made safe and available to all, is the most effective remedy against abortion but could lead to the temptation for abortion.
"Indeed, the pro abortion culture is especially strong precisely where the Church's teaching on contraception is rejected," the pope said, in a possible reference to liberal wings of the Catholic Church, such as in western Europe or in the United States.
However, he said it was permissible for lawmakers to back legislation allowing abortion under restrictions if the alternative was letting a law stand that was more liberal.
Cardinal Adam Maida of the Archdiocese of Detroit praised the document and called on U.S. lawmakers and voters to work together to develop legislation with a new moral conscience.
The pope said that no reason, however serious and tragic, justified abortion — including a woman's desire to protect certain important values such as her own health or a decent standard of living for the rest of her family.
"I declare that direct abortion, that is, abortion will asd as an end or as a
means, always constitutes a grave moral disorder since it is the deliberate killing of an innocent human being," the pope wrote in the Church's strongest expression yet on the practice.
He affirmed the Holy See's penalty of automatic excommunication for anyone who prosecues an abortion.
But he appeared intent on inyecting a note of mercy in his overall harsh pronouncement, offering a special word to women who have had an abortion.
"Certainly what has happened was and remains terribly wrong," the pope wrote. "But do not give in to discouragement and do not lose hope."
He extended moral condemnation to procedures that exploit living human embryos and fetuses — sometimes specifically produced for this purpose by in vitro fertilization — either to be used as biological material or as providers of organs or tissue for transplant in the treatment of certain diseases.
But he did say that prenatal diagnostic techniques, such as amniocentesis, which carry a risk for the fetus or mother, are allowed as medical measures to help the unborn or to allow the mother a serene and informed acceptance.
The pope reiterated Church teaching that the dying or their families can forego extraordinary measures when death is clearly imminent and inevitable.
He did not specifically address the anti-abortion advocates who have killed doctors involved in abortion.
Police chief ambushed as investigations into cult continue
The Associated Press
TOKYO — Officers mounted a huge manhunt in a quiet neighborhood yesterday after a brazen daylight ambush on Japan's top police official and threats of new attacks if police continue investigating a doomsday cult.
The sect, called Aum Shinri Kyo or Supreme Truth, is the prime suspect in the March 20 nerve gas attack on the Tokyo subways that killed 10 people and sickened 5,500 others. It denies involvement, but police have seized a cache of chemicals and equipment for making nerve gas in raids at the sect's compounds.
The cult also denied involvement in the attack on National Police Agency head Takaji Kunimatsu, who was shot four times from behind by a masked assailant as he was leaving his Tokyo condominium for work yesterday mom-
ing, Kuninatsu was in serious condition after surgery.
Prime Minister Tomichi Murayama called the shooting a contemptible act and ordered a full investigation. He also called for tighter security for top government officials.
Police combed the quiet neighborhood in eastern Tokyo where Kunimatsu lived for signs of his assault, described as a thin, middle-aged man in a black coat who wore a surgical face mask. He fled by bicycle.
Transportation officials ordered special vigilance on buses, trains, planes and stations for suspicious objects or people. Subway officials have earmarked $11.1 million for new security cameras at nearly 150 stations.
The first of those were installed
It is widely believed that police were a primary target of the subway attack because all five trains that had nerve gas parcels planted on them were bound for Kasumigaseki.
yesterday at Kasumigaseki station, next to the headquarters of the national and city police.
Tokyo police would not comment on the authenticity of threatening calls made after Kumimatsu's shooting. Several Japanese news organizations said a caller told them that if the police investigation of the cult continued, the city police chief would be targeted next.
The timing of the attack — just as police officers were to arrive for their early shift — lends further credence to that theory. The cult had a history of trouble with the police, whose actions it has bitterly denounced as religious oppression.
An investigator, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told the weekly Shukan Bunshun magazine police were worried that arrest of the cult's leader, Shoko Asahara, could unleash more violence.
ties have been extremely cautious in dealings with the cult, avoiding publicly linking them to the attack.
Asahara's whereabouts are unknown. Police want to question him.
During the investigation, authori-
The subway probe has become one of the biggest criminal investigations ever in Japan. Thousands of officers have been mobilized for nine days of raids and searches at dozens of sites used by the cult.
Tons of chemicals have been seized, including all the ingredients necessary to make sarin, the nerve gas used in the subway attack.
