   This article written by John Schwartz on nytimes.com is about the DADT policy and how it violates rights. I think the author of this article is a credible and reliable source for information. He is the national legal correspondent for NY times. In his article he doesn't just use his own opinion to try to influenence his audience, He uses statements by a respected judge of a federal district court. Schwartz also uses facts in his article from those who do not agree with the judge, showing both sides to the story. He uses words and terms that the general public can understand. 

    In this particular article by Lawrence J. Korb, Sean Duggan, and Laura Conley brind the negative facts about this policy to attention. They discuss the numbers of members who have been discharged due to this policy. Members who are valuable assets to the military because of the skills possess and languages they can speak. I found this article and authors to be very credible. Dr. Korb, throughout his carrer has worked closely with the government, earned his PhD in political science and has authored or co-authored more than 20 books and 100 articles about national issues. He speaks in a language the general public can understand using examples, statistics, and survery results to back up his own claims and opinions.

  1. So is it easy to find a lot of things arguing both sides of the argument? I don't really think there are too many good arguments supporting the current policy, but I'm interested to see what you can come up with.
