Description"Evidence of Mr. Clark's homosexual-friendly views are his support for a review of the military's decade-old "don't ask, don't tell" policy, the task force says. In June, Mr. Clark told NBC "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert the policy "absolutely" should be changed.

"I don't think it works," said the former supreme allied commander in Europe who led the NATO forces in the war in Kosovo. "Essentially, we've got a lot of gay people in the armed forces — we always have had, always will. And I think that ... we should welcome people that want to serve."

Mr. Clark, a Catholic who was raised a Southern Baptist, also came out in support of "gay civil unions" and doesn't "believe gays to be inherently sinful," the task force says."
