Blocked

The US Air Force has blocked members from accessing websites of the New York Times, the Guardian, and at least 23 other sites that have published some of WikiLeaks' leaked embassy cables. If members of the air force attempt to access any of the websites, the screen will reportedly read, "Access Denied: Internet usage is logged and monitored." So far, the air force is the only military branch to institute this ban, although it is likely that others may follow, and federal employees have been advised to not read any leaked cables.

It was reportedly postponed indefinitely because several members of the council were converned about the way that the resolution was written and that it should be investigated more. It has also been said that it was premature to honor Manning as he has not admitted being the source of the leaks.
