I vote to adopt a bastardized version of the don't ask, don't tell policy, which the JCS and Presidents have worked with.

This said, simply "don't tell if asked" beyond what you have known in the past to be reliable bipartisan Members and Senators who under old rules/procedures/law were supposed to "keep it under their hats."

I seem to recall very many politicians on the hill, along with some of their unreliable staffers who are often as not too big for their britches, breaking the old law routinely and nothing was ever done about it.

I write as a former House Whip staffer from the early 1960s who liked the late Congressman Mendell Rivers, D-SC on the House side and Senator John Stennis, D-Miss. on the Senate side when it came to intel and defense topics.
