Creeping Censorship

First, my apologies for slacking...

Wonkette, though not usually a source of hard news, has a story up on the inability for service men and women over-seas to view certain news/opinion websites. It seems a reader 'in theater' is doing the reporting.

The Don & Mike thing is kind of surprising. My Fiance, who isn't really into crude humor in any way, listens to them. I'm not entirely sure they have a liberal slant, but on one of the occasions I listened, they were mocking the Vice President. Of course this was after he shot his lawyer, so everybody was mocking Dick.

The point is that 72% of our troops in the Gulf want to come home anyway and now dissenting opinions are being censored. Scary shit.
