U.S. Air Force Blocks Sites that Published WikiLeaks Cables
-----------------------------------------------------------



The release of the classified U.S. diplomatic cables continues to fuel
government censorship here in the United States. The U.S. Air Force has
announced it is now blocking personnel from accessing the websites of
more than 25 news outlets and blogs that have posted the cables so far.
The censored outlets include the New York Times, The Guardian of London,
Germany’s Der Spiegel, Spain’s El País and France’s Le Monde. Air Force
personnel trying to read those websites are met with a message saying,
"Access Denied: Internet usage is logged and monitored."
