The Memory Hole Banned in Iraq

I've received email from a person with an [army.mil] address. This person is
stationed in Iraq, and he/she tells me that The Memory Hole is blocked on
military computers. Trying to get to the site results in the following 
message:

Access Denied (content_filter_denied)

Your request was denied because of its content categorization:
"Extreme;Politics/Religion"

For assistance, contact your network support team.

How interesting. I post raw documents created by the government, 
military, and
corporations. These days, that apparently amounts to "political extremism."

Naturally, I've filed a FOIA request about this blocking.
