All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.George Orwell, "Animal Farm"
... apparently, authorities believe Navy and Marine personnel are not as "equal" as others?
WorldNetDaily, the leading independent Internet news site, has been blocked from computers on U.S. Navy and Marine Corps bases across the country for an undetermined period of time, and an investigation has been launched into how – and why – that happened.
Ironically, for the past 10 years WorldNetDaily has been immensely popular among U.S. military personnel, with countless service people both stateside and abroad emailing WND insider news tips, concerns and notes of appreciation. Indeed, from recent stories like the dismissal of Navy Chaplain James Klingenschmitt for unauthorized praying all the way back to one of the defining issues of the 2000 presidential election – the suppression of the military vote and the subsequent court-ordered recount of Florida's military votes – WND has taken the lead on stories important to the U.S. military.

I can report that for the years 2002 - 2005 our major European post received two CNN channels and three BBC channels, 24/7. ABC, CBS, and NBC could be seen somewhat less frequently. Fox was broadcast for about one hour per day, in disconnected 15 minute segments.
I'm not surprised about that revelation, Allen. Like the education system and government in general, the military is inundated with LIBERAL management (control).
It may, in fact, be a reflection of the normality of our people, but if it is, it's one I'll never accept.
Nevertheless, the banning of a "undesirable" news outlet is un-American.
