Corporations are implementing policies on employee blogging, but the Pentagon isn’t following the trend. According to the very last graph in an AP story appearing Sunday, “the Pentagon has ‘’‘no specific guidelines on blogging per se,’’ said Cheryl Irwin, a Defense Department spokeswoman. ‘Generally, they can do it if they are writing their blogs not on government time and not on a government computer. They have every right under the First Amendment to say any darn thing they want to say unless they reveal classified information.’”

One wonders if this non-policy has been communicated to the troops. The Pentagon might do well to take a look at some of the emerging corporate policies. (After all, employees have First Amendment rights, too.)
