#1 "Basically ... if it's a place like The New York Times, an established, reputable media outlet, then it's fairly cut and dry that that's a good source, an authorized source," he said ...

#2 Thank goodness. Now airmen can go, without distraction, to the NYT and learn they have already lost the war and are suicidal baby killers.

#6 Give me time er, I mean there is a problem with censorship. I find that most institutions are run by mild mannered wimps at the top. This is the result of prolonged censorship.

Remember, they nailed Jesus to a cross, and all he was doing was healing people without a PHD.

Nope, DU, Rantburg and pretty much every well known blog are blocked on most DoD nets as well as anything with "blog" in the address. Of course, there are ways......
