One way to keep the public from turning against the war is to make sure they don't see it.

The military is cutting off access to MySpace, YouTube and other popular sites soldiers like to visit. The excuse for this is pretty lame, that their network can't handle the load. There are far better ways to handle bandwidth management than that. Combined with their new rules that require soldiers to get approval to post to blogs, the military is cracking down on one of the most important voices coming out of Iraq, that of the soldiers fighting it.

The second half of this one-two punch is that the Iraqi government is banning reporters from bombing scenes. After all, if there are no pictures, it's like it never happened, right?
