Air Force blocks New York Times, Guardian over WikiLeaks: report

The United States Air Force has blocked access from its computers to news websites that have published State Department cables obtained by WikiLeaks, the Wall Street Journal reports.

As a result, Air Force staffers who want to check out the news will no longer be able to access the New York Times, the UK’s Guardian, Germany’s Der Spiegel and about two dozen news sites that the Air Force says have published leaked documents.

Air Force spokeswoman Major Toni Tones told the WSJ that the move is meant to keep classified documents off unclassified computers. She would not say which websites are being targeted for blocking, but the WSJ reports that Spain’s El Pais and France’s Le Monde are among the censored sites.

The WSJ reports:

Air Force users who try to view the websites of the New York Times, Britain’s Guardian, Spain’s El Pais, France’s Le Monde or German magazine Der Spiegel instead get a page that says, “ACCESS DENIED. Internet Usage is Logged & Monitored,” according to a screen shot reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. The notice warns that anyone who accesses unauthorized sites from military computers could be punished….

The move was ordered by the 24th Air Force, commanded by Major Gen. Richard E. Webber, following the late November publication of U.S. diplomatic cables. The Army, Navy and Marines aren’t blocking the sites, and the Defense Department hasn’t told the services to do so, according to spokespeople for the services and the Pentagon.

An unnamed defense official told the WSJ that the Air Force’s order may be a “misinterpretation of military guidance” regarding visiting websites featuring classified documents.

The Air Force notes that employees are not banned from viewing the sites at home or at non-work computers.

Following WikiLeaks’ release of State Department cables late last month, the US government banned employees from accessing the site on work computers. However, this appears to be the first time that news sites that reported on WikiLeaks revelations have been targeted for censorship.

So far, other branches of the US military aren’t blocking access to news sites, the WSJ reports.

    “Freedom of Speech? What’s that?”

    The country is just Diet Fascism at this point. Best part is that there STILL isn’t enough public outrage over the abuses being CONSTANTLY reported in the news because the people have been easily co-opted by all the divisive bullshit relentlessly drilled into our easily manipulated brains.

    Clay Duke took hostages and ended up being killed at a school board meeting in Panama City Florida today. I don’t condone what he did, but his statement before his death makes a lot of sense to me….

    “My Testament: Some people (the government sponsored media) will say I was evil, a monster (V)… no… I was just born poor in a country where the Wealthy manipulate, use, abuse, and economically enslave 95% of the population. Rich Republicans, Rich Democrats… same-same… rich… they take turns fleecing us… our few dollars… pyramiding the wealth for themselves. The 95%… the us, in US of A, are the neo slaves of the Global South. Our Masters, the Wealthy, do, as they like to us…”

Of course, many of the idiots who followed his torture orders are now in prison for it as Bush frolics and profits from it by writing a book. Hideous nation we are becoming.

    Censorship in the military isn’t uncommon. However to be localized to one branch is peculiar. I suspect that the other branches will soon follow suit. I do find it interesting that those who are fighting for “our rights” and more specifically “our constitution” are being shielded from these specific News outlets over an issue of freedom of the press.

    Wow, I remember when Thailand was under the heel of a military coup. They banned access to non-military publications for soldiers too.

    The good thing is, when the American people finally decide enough is enough and throttle the corrupt and bloated military in its sleep, they won’t even see it coming — if what happened in Thailand in 1992 is any indication.

    Yup. We definitely have to stop running flyboys for president, let alone electing them. McCain for instance has done almost as much harm to the good in this country as the whole state of Texas has, with his medieval stance on DODT etc, and his Keating Five corruption. Quite apart from all those people he killed on that ship with his macho antics, and the innocents he bombed.

    And let’s not speak of B…B…

    When I was in the USAFSS between 1971 and 1975 and stationed overseas most of the time, I used to read the Air Force newspaper each day at the chow hall. Then one day, the newspaper’s bold, large type headline said, “NIXON RESIGNS!!!”

    “What,” I thought, “I didn’t even know he was in trouble.”

    It took seeing “All the President’s Men” several years after getting out when I finally understood how criminal the Republican Party had become while I was in the military, and how far they’d gone to try to hide their conservative criminality…almost as criminal as the Bush/Cheney administration…now that WAS a criminal Republican Party administration.

    The Air Force: they are such trained killers. Everything they do is at arm’s length from the safety of an air conditioned office or one of their airplanes. When I was a young Marine, I thought the Airmen were blowing smoke up my ass about having air conditioned tents, but it turned out to be true.

    Yes, it is becoming like Germany in the ’30′s except for one minor difference.

    The Germans were intelligent, hard working, inventive and lived in a fairly homogeneous nation where they all looked, talked and thought the same. The unimaginable catastrophe that befell that nation couldn’t break its people.

    We, on the other hand, are a bunch of uneducated, pill popping, lazy, instant gratification seeking pinheads. This nation is about to fly to pieces and will do so with an arsenal of thermal nuclear weapons (oh and some nifty biological agents that will rock your world) carrying Jesus. I suspect that they’ll be quite a bit of ethnic cleansing as that is about the level we’ll sink to.

    Now you know why it is that despite overwhelming fire power and technological advantage the US military cannot overcome the relatively poorly armed and technologically deprived Taliban and Iraqi insurgents.
    It is because they are lead by a terminally idiotic and myopic military administration.

    A massive breach of civil liberties and a breathtakingly flagrant denial of First Amendment rights. The comment, “employees are not banned from viewing the sites at home or at non-work computers”, is merely a smokescreen to appear non-discriminatory.

    This is nothing more and nothing less than censorship, in the EXACT style of China blocking any site it disapproves of. Particularly so when you consider that the newspapers mentioned are highly-respected, law-abiding media outlets that are practically institutions in their respective countries. They are not the websites of the US’s ‘enemy’. Censorship is totalitarian, cut and dried, no matter how you dress it up.

    Of course, this should be challenged in court, but won’t. This is a very slippery slope that the MSM is simply not reporting on with any importance.

Particularly so when you consider that the newspapers mentioned are highly-respected, law-abiding media outlets that are practically institutions in their respective countries. They are not the websites of the US’s ‘enemy’. Censorship is totalitarian, cut and dried, no matter how you dress it up.

    Of course, this should be challenged in court, but won’t. This is a very slippery slope that the MSM is simply not reporting on with any importance.

    Wow … the US government is creating a group of people who are brainwashed, within its own country, who have limited access to information, kind of like those who live in ‘communist’ countries. These people have no access to most major news resources. This is so scary.

    The United States Air Force is doing the same thing our government condemned the Chinese government for doing to Liu Xiaobo denying it’s people Freedom of the Press. We have become what we feared most and how do we expect our Military to uphold the Constitution when they are denied it’s protections ? Maybe now the main stream media will grow a spine and speak out on behalf of Julian Assange. Also just a heads up to our Military folks I going to assume you have not been cut off from Fox (Faux ) Media and I want to tell you anything you hear or read from Fox ( Faux ) Media the opposite is true. Thank You for your service. Happy Holidays !

    The Goose Step and Seig Hiel I am learning as the Terrorist republican Nazi Racist party steps up it push to DEMONIZE Americans and the Entertainment Media that dares question the nazi, Terrorist party and their supporters.

    Sir, please understand this is being done to DISMANTLE the Military by building lack of confidence in said Military. Understand the House and the Senate DO NOT run this Country the American TERRORIST right of the Anti Corporate America does. Further check the Building of the additional Military camps on the East and WEST Coast for BlackWater, Why, Why is the Secretaary of State using Merc’s to settle International differences. If you be that it is to stop Terrorism you are delusional it is to AVOID Accountability of the Terrorist Anti American corporations. Case and point Somalia 2006 freighter boarded and it is carrying MISSLES to WHOM and WHY no accountability to this day. Questioning it now is twisted that the Terrrorist,Racist,Nazi, republicans can do their best to dismantle the Constitution while claiming they are protecting you and demonizing you for any questions. The Nazi republican Noise Nit Wit network advances the propoganda. Have you seen any, any of the MAJOR banks held accountable for Bankrupting this Country, has anything besides REWARDS been passed out by the Terrorist,Nazi,Racist republican party of Anti American Scum.

    Remember the republican Terrorist Racist,Nazi motto “DEATH to America”

  • Where goeth sanity?

    Don’t read my mind, Asshole!

    I was not duped. I was eighteen years old and joined the Air Force because my father had been in and because I didn’t know what to do with my life at that point.

    My anger is over the “programming” the other poster was spouting from a point of generalization and NOT FACT…much like you are doing.

    No. That ILLEGAL war was NOT WON by the U.S. Do you think I live under a fucking rock?! Yes…it IS on the same list as Iraq and Afghanistan. STARTED WITH LIES by the powers with an agenda.

    How about try posting on facts and not your programming or alleged ability to read my fucking mind! THAT is where most of my anger is coming from. Puppets like you offer no help in righting wrongs; you just create more cross-currents of BULLSHIT!!!

    Lastly, my anger reflects nonsensical, crap comments like the poster I responded to and yours based on nothing but your programming and “made up truths” in your own mind.

    Boy you really got a problem with Anger…

    Ever thought of signing up for rehab?

    I hear it can work but an open mind is needed.

    You see you have made assumptions about my position from your perspective and such is not valid.

    Remember only USA is hoodwinked by Media and Government, elsewhere in the free world people can by and large form their own opinions.

    Now don’t just rush to more conclusions since I, neither, am the enemy…The enemy is within.

    Better focus on domestic issues and begin to change your country should you be an American.

    That is where the problems are and sadly they are still building.

    You have my sympathy too…

    How idiotic…as if a paper copy isn’t on the store shelves, the radio isn’t in their car and their TV doesn’t work when they get home. Its a grandstanding gesture…worth nothing in reality. The effort spent to enforce this was wasted. I’ve watched pets chase their tails more productively.

    “I was not duped. I was eighteen years old and joined the Air Force because my father had been in and because I didn’t know what to do with my life at that point.”

    Here are the facts:
    1. You were not duped into signing up to the Air Force.
    2. You also did not sign up to fight for American values and freedom.
    3. As you have stated before “The U.S. armed forces do NOT fight for freedoms. They fight for corporate capitalism’s hold and ties with and to other countries economic materials and positionings.”
    4. You either a) consciously signed up to fight for the corporate capitalists, or b) you didn’t give a fuck that you were participating in a military industrial complex that has fueled the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
    5…
    6. You are morally corrupt, have added to the pain and suffering of humanity, try to suppress your guilty conscious. Go Fuck Yourself, and your father, airforce cock suckers.
