I don't remember the exact wording, but one of the soldiers posting on operationtruth.com was discussing the Iraqi elections in a blog and mentioned how he had to be real careful on what he discussed due to restrictions impossed by the powers that be.

If I recall correctly, it was something to the extent of mentioning anything negative about his being in Iraq.


>That is interesting that you state that the Pentagon is censuring blogs from Iraq. Do you have proof? The Pentagon can legally only remove classified information or information that will risk lives if posted. I have numerous friends (we have 45,000 troops here on Fort Bragg) that are there now, many have gone, returned, and left again, and none reported any censorship at all. Almost everyone here knows at least a couple of troops over there. This is an area of mostly military families and retirees. I have friends there now from many military units and none have experienced censorship that I am aware of. Not one complained of it or even mentioned it. My friends at my old job handle the military information security and they are doing what I used to do and they are only censorsing sensitive data (troop locations and personnel strengths). Not only that, there are too many blogs and no restriction on the internet - they cannot even track but a small portion of them.

>>>I don't know anyone in the religious right so I cannot answer that. I know a lot of non-religious military families that support him, but that wouldn't answer your question. It does negate your statement that every other group has no confidence in him anymore though.
