Do they also block mikalinphilly?


By way of Wonkette.com comes a story about how censors control soldiers' use of military computers in Iraq by denying access to particular websites:

* Wonkette – “Forbidden, this page (http://www.wonkette.com/) is categorized as: Forum/Bulletin Boards, Politics/Opinion.”
* Bill O’Reilly (www.billoreilly.com) – OK
* Air America (www.airamericaradio.com) – “Forbidden, this page (http://www.airamericaradio.com/) is categorized as: Internet Radio/TV, Politics/Opinion.”
* Rush Limbaugh (www.rushlimbaugh.com) – OK
* ABC News “The Note” – OK
* Website of the Al Franken Show (www.alfrankenshow.com) – “Forbidden, this page (http://www.airamericaradio.com/) is categorized as: Internet Radio/TV, Politics/Opinion.”
* G. Gordon Liddy Show (www.liddyshow.us) – OK
* Don & Mike Show (www.donandmikewebsite.com) – “Forbidden, this page (http://www.donandmikewebsite.com/) is categorized as: Profanity, Entertainment/Recreation/Hobbies.”

Excuse me, aren't our soldiers fighting for freedom? To me that means things like freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press. I guess it doesn't mean that to the craven cabal that's taken over our government.

Perhaps this censorship explains why a recent Zogby poll showed that 85 percent of troops serving in Iraq believe that a major reason for their mission is to “retaliate for Saddam's role in the 9/11 attacks.”

Fighting for freedom? Silly you! Don't you see that we need the oil? Or are you walking everywhere? (just kidding... this is my audition to be a writer for the Cobert Report...)
