Army to Bloggers: We Won't Bust You. Promise.

[demobabe]

The Army appears to be backing away from new regulations that require soldiers get their approval from their bosses before they blog and send e-mail. In a fact sheet and in comments to the Associated Press, Army officials are saying, in essence, not to worry about the precise wording of the rules. The service won't enforce 'em anyway, they promise.

The Army's fact sheet, released a few hours ago, says:

"In no way will every blog post/update a Soldier makes on his or her blog need to be monitored or first approved by an immediate supervisor."
