I've received email from a person with an [army.mil] address. This person is stationed in Iraq, and he/she tells me that The Memory Hole is blocked on military computers. Trying to get to the site results in the following

Your request was denied because of its content categorization:

How interesting. I post raw documents created by the government, military, and corporations. These days, that apparently amounts to "political extremism." Naturally, I've filed a FOIA request about this blocking.
Update: BoingBoing reader Priapo says, "I read your post in boingboing talking about this subject and I have gathered a few ways to bypass the filter using a proxy. It's explained here."
