An advocacy group for gays in the military is warning them not to answer a Pentagon survey seeking opinions on repeal of the policy that bans homosexuals from serving openly.

The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network said Thursday that troops could be accidentally exposed by answering the survey and that the Defense Department has not agreed to grant immunity should that happen.

The Pentagon says the survey is confidential and is being done by an outside contractor who will strip out all identifying data. "They cannot be outed," said Cynthia Smith, a Pentagon spokeswoman.

The legal defense group said it's not so sure.
