This just in from a BNI reader:

Good morning Bonni,

I have a buddy in Afghanistan who is retired U.S. Army currently working over there as a contractor. He and I pass web articles back and forth all the time while he is deployed. Both of us frequent BNI… until now. He just tried to access your site and found it blocked. It wasn’t blocked less than 2 weeks ago. We’ll be filing complaints with the ISP, and I wanted to let you know in case you have the desire to do so as well. He is passing the info around Afghanistan to let users over there know. This is a disgusting restriction of freedom of speech to accommodate a bunch of head chopping boy molesting opium growing savages. The ISP is sniperhill.net, and they are based out of Houston, TX of all places. They have a monopoly which rips off soldiers for over $10 Million annually for crappy service, and now they are restricting free speech. They have yet to block other sites such as Jihadwatch, gatesofvienna, Act!, etc. Just you so far, it seems.

Just thought you should know. Keep up the good work.
