| excerpt: According to AFMC's legal office, Air Force members -- military or civilian -- may not legally access WikiLeaks at home on their personal, non-governmental computers, either. [...] Also according to the legal office, "if a family member of an Air Force employee accesses WikiLeaks on a home computer, the family member may be subject to prosecution for espionage under U.S. Code Title 18 Section 793. The Air Force member would have an obligation to safeguard the information under the general guidance to safeguard classified information." http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/02/air-force-legal-office-prosecuted-reading-wikileaks/let freedom ring... | |

| Not surprising. As one ex GI put it, when you join the military you basically lose all rights as a citizen. | |
