RESTRICTIONS ON BLOGS FOR US SOLDIERS

The Guardian reports that US troops in Iraq have reacted angrily to Pentagon restrictions aimed at curbing interent postings from war zones. The Pentagon cited the risk of providing sensitive information to insurgents. Anyone who fails “to protect critical and sensitive information” could face punishment including a court martial.

One posting to Black Five, an offcial site run by former paratrooper Matthew Burden, described the Pentagon’s move as “an incandescently stupid decision of the military to allow the anal-retentive, mistake-avoidance police have their way”.
