Harry Reid's Revenge

All those troops in Iraq who wrote blog posts and e-mails responding to Harry Reid's declaration of defeat are getting shut up. The Army, responding to Congressional Democrats complaints have:
...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.


Now that's the way the Democrats like it. Disagree with us? We'll tell you to shut up and you will salute sharply and obey. It works in the Army, it works in the academic world and it works in the MSM. All that's left is talk radio and, never fear, they have the "fairness doctrine" to resurrect from the gave to shut down anyone who disagrees.

I have no doubt that this is true, but as far as I know, it is only an assumption...do you know of any hard info to establish it as fact?
