What happened to soldiers' rights of freedom?
DENVER (AP) -- Soldiers serving overseas will lose some of their online links to friends and loved ones back home under a Department of Defense policy that a high-ranking Army official said would take effect Monday.
The Defense Department will begin blocking access "worldwide" to YouTube, MySpace and 11 other popular Web sites on its computers and networks, according to a memo sent Friday by Gen. B.B. Bell, the U.S. Forces Korea commander.
The policy is being implemented to protect information and reduce drag on the department's networks, according to Bell.
"This recreational traffic impacts our official DoD network and bandwidth ability, while posing a significant operational security challenge," the memo said.
The armed services have long barred members of the military from sharing information that could jeopardize their missions or safety, whether electronically or by other means. More on the story.

quote of the day (from an unknown Indian tribe):
"The earth was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children."
kewl... I'm back ( ;
You're back, Patriot Girl!
The article about Pat: That is why Libby is stupid and many of the media are stupid to criticize Fitz. If only the little soldier sed the 5th amendment, then the reporters would have been subjected to testify. Ya think that media would have had a clue on that! Too late. Look forward to Scooter's sentencing on June 5th.
Fitz for AG: Need to clean up the entire DOJ first. I doubt Fitz would want the job since he has to deal with the Gerbil. Fitz is not a political person.
Yes, problems, problems with the House of Reps. Like I said a major cleanup.
Finally, the article about Nevada Repubs... The entire Republican party were completely snatched by the invasion of the body snatchers!
