Frankly~I did not hear abt this.....
Why should it be so ? And~by whom ?
Who's really 'targetting' them ~ The Military establishment...OR....?
Was it becos...after the 'wikileaks' thing ? LOL

BUT~I should think they have much right to be in any S-Network site(s) as any of us
They're human-beings too.....
