Ann Coulter blames gays for WikiLeaks. Or something.

It's generally a mistake to expect logical, coherent arguments from people who are 1) Bigots, 2) Ann Coulter or 3) Both, and Coulter's latest column is no exception:

The two biggest stories this week are WikiLeaks' continued publication of classified government documents, which did untold damage to America's national security interests, and the Democrats' fanatical determination to repeal “don't ask, don't tell” and allow gays to serve openly in the military.

The mole who allegedly gave WikiLeaks the mountains of secret documents is Pfc. Bradley Manning, Army intelligence analyst and angry gay.

Maybe there's a reason gays have traditionally been kept out of the intelligence services, apart from the fact that closeted gay men are easy to blackmail.

[S]ince you brought up gays in the military, liberals, let's talk about Bradley Manning. He apparently released hundreds of thousands of classified government documents as a result of being a gay man in “an awkward place.”

Any discussion of “don't ask, don't tell” should begin with Bradley Manning. Live by the sad anecdote, die by the sad anecdote.

Try to follow the argument: Gays in the military are a security risk because they are easy to blackmail, so we should retain Don't Ask, Don't Tell, which requires gays in the military to remain in the closet, which presumably makes it easier to blackmail them. When you encounter an argument that convoluted, it's a pretty safe bet the writer is ashamed of her real reasons for opposing DADT repeal.
