President Obama has said the outrage over the federal government’s decision to monitor citizens’ phone activity is all “hype.”
He might want to share his opinion with the U.S. Air Force, which is
ordering members of the service not to look at news stories about it.
WND has received an unclassified NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) that warns
airmen not to look at news stories related to the data-mining scandal.
The notice applies to users of the Air Force NIPRNET (Non-classified
Internet Protocol Router Network), which is the only way that many
troops stationed overseas and on bases in the U.S. are able to access
the Internet.
The last line of the executive summary states:
“Users are not to use AF NIPRNET systems to access the Verizon phone
records collection and other related news stories because the action
could constitute a Classified Message Incident.”
Cindy McGee, the mother of an airman stationed in the UAE, spoke with WND.
“The fact that our government is attempting to censor our service
members from the truth of what is happening here at home is truly
frightening and disheartening,” said McGee.
Her son received the same notice.
McGee continued, “I am outraged that our government is attempting to
censor the information from our military that every citizen in this
country is potentially being targeted by our government in a massive
overreach of their constitutional powers by unconstitutional
surveillance of all Americans and storage of that data.”
