anyone who read the documents faced prosecution under the<br>> Espionage Act, warning members of the Air Force to make sure their families<br>> in particular didn’t attempt to read the cables.<br>><br>> Later, a spokeswoman for the Air Force sought to justify the guidance,<br>> insisting it was meant to “give guidance to military and civilian<br>> servicemembers and employees to control their young’uns,” because apparently<br>> having young people reading about foreign policy was a big problem.<br>><br>> But the threat, like so many before them, was illusory and immediately<br>> abandoned when people began to question it. The Obama Administration has<br>> still not reversed its ban on millions of federal employees reading the<br>> documents, and the Air Force has still banned websites which contain<br>> information related to the cables from their computers.<br>>
