ABSTRACT

Frustrations stemming from the conduct of the Dunn Court of Inquiry were partially tempered by the fact that one more tribunal had yet to investigate the navy’s anti-homosexual campaign. The navy might manipulate procedures to protect itself, but U.S. Senators ought to be able to uncover the truth and be unafraid to criticize where justified. Moreover, no Senate finding would be subject to review by the very men accused of malfeasance. Perhaps Senate recommendations or publicity resulting from the deliberations could prevent the repetition of such incidents.
