david martin at the pentagon tonight. david, thanks very much. bill clinton was president when "don't ask, don't tell" became law. since then, an estimated 13,000 gay and lesbian service members have been kicked out of the military. today as part of a wide-ranging interview i asked the former president about the law. "don't ask, don't tell." do you ever regreet it as a policy? >> oh, yeah, but keep in mind i didn't choose this policy. "don't ask, don't tell" was only adopted when both houses of congress had voted by a huge veto-proof margin to legislate the absolute ban on gays in the military if i didn't do something else. so there's been a lot of rewriting history saying oh, bill clinton just gave into that. that's just factually false. i didn't do anything until the votes were counted. now, when colin powell saw me on "don't ask, don't tell", here is what he said it would be. gay service members would never get in trouble for going to gay bars, marching in gay rights parades as long as they weren't in uniform. that was what they were promised.
