Pentagon Blocks Nudie GI Peep Site

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has blocked soldiers in Iraq from accessing a pornographic Web site that is posting scandalous nude pictures of their female comrades-in-arms, The Post has learned.

Military officials confirmed that angry commanders have blocked access to the so-called "amateur porn" site from the military's Internet service and has warned soldiers that they would face discipline if the activity continues.

The action follows an inquiry by the Pentagon into the posting of nude pictures of at least eight female GIs — most of whom are serving in Iraq — on the Web site.

The photos include nude female soldiers, some posing with machine guns and hand grenades — and, in one case having sex — in military barracks.

Messages accompanying the photos indicate that most of the photos were sent to the Web site by fellow soldiers without the knowledge or consent of the women — and some seem intended to humiliate the women.

The Post has been able to verify that at least three of the women named on the site were in fact soldiers serving in Iraq.

"The soldiers I am in contact [with] are telling me that they have to be very careful now. The Pentagon has blocked access to my site from the satellite that provides Internet access over there," said Chris Wilson, of Lakeland, Fla., who owns and operates the Web site.

Still, some soldiers are finding ways to get around the new crackdown, either gaining access through private Internet services or posting the pictures when they return home from Iraq.

You know what they say about being careful what you ask for :-)

General Order #1 prohibits viewing pornography on government computers. I agree with this order. You make it sound as though it's a bad thing that servicemen can't view pornography on the Internet on government computers. Am I misunderstanding you?

I wonder if Bill Clinton, as Commander in Chief, when he was President, followed this order. Sound like grounds for Court Marshall/Impeachment. Oh well, the past is the past...
