"Guidance issued by the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force on Aug. 9, 2010, makes clear that Air Force personnel should not access the WikiLeaks website to view or download the publicized classified information."[...]
Within AFMC, and across the Air Force, the WikiLeaks site has been blocked to protect the network. Other sites discovered to be posting the leaked information have also been blocked.
[...]
Also according to the legal office, "if a family member of an Air Force employee accesses WikiLeaks on a home computer, the family member may be subject to prosecution for espionage under U.S. Code Title 18 Section 793. The Air Force member would have an obligation to safeguard the information under the general guidance to safeguard classified information."
Are they serious? They think they can prosecute a family member of an enlisted person for looking at a public web site? I’d like to see that.
And, if they’re blocking any site on their network that posts the leaked information, they must have at least all major newspapers down, and in fact all sites that offer news. If you’re in the Air Force, you don’t get the news.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
