Check it out, according to a recent post over at one of my favorite alternative sites for news, the USMil has blocked soldiers in Iraq from accessing the site. Apaprently, when a person in Iraq uses a USMil connection to the Internet is used to access TheMemoryHole, they get a message saying "Your request was denied because of its content categorization: 'Extreme;Politics/Religion'" Here's an excerpt from webmaster Russ Kick's blog that says it all:
I post raw documents created by the government, military, and corporations. These days, that apparently amounts to "political extremism."
This is the world we're living in folks. Where the USMil can't even let it's own people think freely.
I suppose the concern must be that if they thougt freely, they'd think the war might be a bad idea... go figure...
Check out Russ Kick's brilliant site.
