Army Blocks Public's Access to Documents in Web-Based Library

The Army has shut down public access to the largest online collection of its doctrinal publications, a move criticized by open-government advocates as unnecessary secrecy by a runaway bureaucracy.

"It provides the public with an unparalleled window into Army policy. It provides unclassified resources on military planning and doctrine."
