the policy, of course, began back with former president bill clinton, who back then had actually asked his inner circle to vote for or against it in private meetings. senior political analyst, david gergen, who at the time was an adviser to clinton was in the room when the votes were cast. david joins us now for an "360" insider briefing. that must have been a fascinating moment. the president was, what, basically polling his inner cycle? >> yes, he was, anderson. president clinton, as a candidate, said he would like to end the prohibition against gays in the military. it wasn't an issue, really, in the 1992 campaign, and shortly after he was elected back in november of 1992, he said he planned to move ahead in response to a question at a press conference and all hell broke loose. so when he became president, he met with the joint chiefs, the top military people and they said, don't do this, mr. president, don't get rid of this prohibition, and members of congress came in to see him and said, don't do this, mr. president, you've got to keep this prohibition. so that's when he decided t

we felt that having her of being in the public eye for many years while she and bill clinton, after they left the white house, until the time that she ran for the u.s. senate, that is a short time. but she is not out there every day as a national figure. there is an entire generation of young voters who did not know who she was. i felt, with my background, with an organization citizens united, producing as one of our overall efforts, and i felt that we should make a documentary about hillary clinton. we could tell the american people about who she is. so we started down that path. we made a film. we knew what the outcome would be. i did not know what the outcome would be in the courts. but we knew we were going to run into trouble. it happened in 2004. it was not news to us that the federal commission loves to flex its muscles when it comes to people participating in the political process. so i always have to hire lawyers first before i can figure out what i can say and where i can say it, and so does a remedy in america, to be candid. >> when did you first hire the lawyer ted olson to d
