Gen. Pace: Homosexual acts immoral

By ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer 5 minutes ago

Pace, who retires next week, said he was seeking to clarify similar remarks he made in spring, which he said were misreported.

"We need to be very precise then, about what I said wearing my stars and being very conscious of it," he added.
