Secretary Gates has sent a memo saying that top military officials will need permission prior to conducting interviews in the future.
(From the Yahoo article)
"The order, issued by Gates on Friday in a brief memo to military and civilian personnel worldwide and effective immediately, tells officials to make sure they are not going out of bounds or unintentionally releasing information that the Pentagon wants to hold back."
To add an ironic side note, in the story there is a link to www.defense.gov. From that site, you can you can connect with DOD via social media outlets such as Twitter and Facebook. On the Facebook page you can post text, pictures and videos.
So much for controlling what military personnel are saying these days...
