Noted In Passing

I heard a report on All Things Considered tonight (can't find it in the rundown of tonight's show posted on-line) about Sen. Joe Lieberman's legislation proposing an end to Don't Ask, Don't Tell. The reporter narrating used one of those turns of phrase that make me furious. He said, "Some members of the Joint Chiefs believe that repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell would harm unit cohesion" (or some such thing). On the other hand, the only actual member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff named is the chair, Admiral Mike Mullen, who favors repeal of DADT. So, who are those members of the Joint Chiefs who disagree? Why are they unwilling to go on record opposing their chief, or the possibility of repeal?

More to the point, do they even exist?
