Wikileaks blocked for federal workers

Americablog has a cute little post all about how -- well, here, read it for yourself.

As has been said many times in the past, "you can't make this stuff up" -- theater of the absurd! (please follow link to original)

Wait, wait, perhaps there is some sense to this -- after all, you don't want Federal Workers knowing stuff -- do you? Why, they might learn their pay has been frozen for two years, right?

Have we ALL lost our minds?

WikiLeaks blocked for federal workers because it's classified

Never mind the fact that the same data can be read at the NY Times or The Guardian website. Talk about security theater! At least people like Joe Lieberman are satisfied because now the US government is just like China with its censorship policy towards federal workers.

The Obama administration is banning hundreds of thousands of federal employees from calling up the WikiLeaks site on government computers because the leaked material is still formally regarded as classified.

The Library of Congress tonight joined the education department, the commerce department and other government agencies in confirming that the ban is in place.

Although thousands of leaked cables are freely available on the Guardian, New York Times and other newspaper websites, as well as the WikiLeaks site, the Obama administration insists they are still classified and, as such, have to be protected
