Canadian Blogging Soldier back online.

The Soldier who was ordered to stop blogging from Afghanistan is BACK ONLINE at http://miafghanistan.blogspot.com/.

He was required to list his blog with the Canadian Army so that it could be monitored for mission critical details. It is best summed up from a section of Matt's posting of 24Aug06:

The Army requires people to list their blogs so that they may keep track of information that may possibly be mission critical. Anything that may jeopardize the mission can't make it online (for good reason) and anything that would put soldiers lives, or the lives of their friends and family back home, at risk is best kept for the soldiers daily journal. These are secrets even better left in their heads, maybe to be released years later when it is alright to tell people of their stories.
