Freedom of…what, exactly?
So, our troops in Iraq can use the web, but only what the censors feel is proper. Now, remember the poll last week, the one that showed that 72% of the troops want to leave Iraq? Thats without any “liberal” media barking at them, thats for sure. From Wonkette:
Unfortunately anonomizers don’t work out here (never have). Anyway, I had a few minutes today and thought I’d look and see what else was banned on the Marine web here. I think the results speak for themselves:

Oh yeah. The truth. Can’t have that.
