My Bin Laden celebration article blocked by some military computers

Copyright 2011 by John T. Reed

A reader told me my article complaining about the unseemly celebration outside the White House after the bin Laden death was blocked with this message.

The following site has been blocked in accordance with the Joint Ethics Regulation, AR 25-1, and JTF-GNO policy.

AR means Army Regulation. JTF-GNO means Joint Task Force Global Network Operations.

My response is another abbreviation I learned in the Army:

FTA

Since I was a radio officer, I also know it in Morse Code:

dih dih dah dit     dah     dit dah

The older officers in communications forgot their Mose Code. We young officers who had more recently been through the school still knew it.
