First Amendment Air Force Outrage

As the son of a former airman, as a former airman, and as the father of a current airman-- if this is true, someone's butt is going to get chewed on by me and whatever elected representatives I can put the heat on.

Daily Kos: BREAKING: Air Force Censors Liberal Websites, But Leaves Conservative Ones Alone:

Earlier today, a friend of mine who flies for the Air Force sent me an email reporting that sometime in the middle of the day today, the Air Force's IT people put a block on DailyKos. He was on a coffee break and wanted to show a colleague a diary about energy policy, so he told me (probably one of Jerome à Paris'). Although it was possible to do that this morning, by around two o'clock (or however they say that in the Air Force) DailyKos was blocked.

So was Atrios.
So was TalkingPointsMemo, for crying out loud - and they're all policy and minimal invective over there!
On the other hand, Free Republic and Little Green Footballs came through just fine, thank you very much. . ."
