Pentagon Blocks 13 Web Sites From Military Computers

PENTAGON BLOCKS 13 WEB SITES FROM MILITARY COMPUTERS
[SOURCE: New York Times, AUTHOR: Dan Frosch]
Members of the military will not be allowed to use military computers to communicate through Web sites like YouTube and MySpace under restrictions that the Pentagon imposed yesterday. The rule bans 13 sites, many of them networking, music or photo-sharing sites, because they have slowed the Internet network of the Defense Department, military officials said. Critics said the policy represented the latest effort to control the deluge of information flowing from soldiers on the battlefield.
