I’ve written before about my 2nd cousin who’s blogging from Iraq. Well, his superiors put a stop to that. His last post isn’t available anymore on his site, but here’s a copy:

Command Influence

It appears that certain staff personnel in the Army think that the enemy we are fighting over here can use my blog site to gain insightful information on my unit and use it to our disadvantage. These people seem to think the insurgents don’t watch CNN, Fox, or read Yahoo news and instead are looking to get intelligence on us by finding and reading my blog site. Nevertheless, word has leaked about my blog and spread to the wrong sorts. So in the interests of operational security and career protection, I am canceling this blog. I apologize to those who read my accounts and use it to gain otherwise unreported facts about this war. Your comments and words of encouragement were most uplifting. It is sad that in this war where information is the key to victory, that I am being silenced. If the Army wants to shut out the truth and leave it up to the main press to give you your information, I fear that we will lose this war. It is no secret that the mainstream press has informally sided with the enemy and would like nothing more than to see us lose this war, just to fulfill a political agenda and discredit the President. There is so much more to this war than just reporting every US death and terrorist activity. I would love to see equal press paid to our victories, probably too numerous to list.
The legal experts tell me that I can write personal letters and what happens after that is not my fault. I will continue to write to Paige and tell her all of the unclassified things that are happening here. I encourage anyone who reads this blog and wants continued information to email her and request updates. I think she will be happy to keep all of our family and friends updated. Mahalo.
