Links: Pentagon to Soldiers: Don't Read Fox News!
Posted by Ernest Miller on Tuesday, May 11 @ 16:15:18 EDT Free Expression
Yesterday, LawMeme noted that Senate was rather foolishly banning its members from acquiring the "SECRET/NOFORN" Taguba report on torture at Abu Ghraib prison from NPR (Office of Senate Security Doesn't Understand Computers). Apparently, the Senators and their staffs should wait to read the report until the Pentagon decides to provide them with copies.

Today Time Magazine has published an email from the Pentagon basically ordering Pentagon staff not to download the report from Fox News (Military Personnel: Don't Read This!). Downloading it from NPR is apparently okay. A copy of the email, which was sent last Thursday, is here: Pentagon Email Warning:

THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT IS CLASSIFIED. ALL ISD CUSTOMERS SHOULD:

1) NOT GO TO FOX NEWS TO READ OR OBTAIN A COPY
2) NOT comment on this to anyone, friends, family etc.
3) NOT delete the file if you receive it via e-mail, but
4) CALL THE ISD HELPDESK AT 602-2627 IMMEDIATELY
