If You're in Iraq, The Truth Is NOT Available

This is fascinating. If you are a Marine, in the Air Force, in the Army, and serving in Iraq, your military leaders and the Pentagon do not want you to know the truth. Only "pre-approved" right wing extremist websites which support this administration and the unending war in Iraq are available to the military.
According to Wonkette and FireDogLake:
Alex at Wonkette writes today about web sites that are being blocked by military computers in Iraq, as opposed to those that are deemed "acceptable":


Wonkette - blocked

O'Reilly -- OK (chickenhawk)
Air America -- blocked
Limbaugh -- OK (chickenhawk)
ABC News "The Note" -- OK
Al Franken Show -- blocked

G. Gordon Liddy Show -- OK (convicted in Watergate break-in)

Here is a new list of websites to check:

God forbid if our service members should find out the truth. They might start to question things.
