"The U.S. Army has ordered soldiers to stop posting to blogs or sending personal e-mail messages, without first clearing the content with a superior officer, Wired News has learned. The directive, issued April 19, is the sharpest restriction on troops' online activities since the start of the Iraq war. And it could mean the end of military blogs, observers say."
Although I don't totally agree with this, I think it needed for the security of the military. The enemy is evolving and the internet is the quickest way to gather information. Plus, there shouldn't be anything that should prevent them from actually sending the emails or posting blogs since the superior officer can okay the post or email unless it is something that is not acceptable. So what exactly are you hiding to be against this? Other than of course, privacy.
