It isn't WikiLeaks vs the U.S..

Countries all over the world are blocking WikiLeaks, the U.S. isn't. The reason it hasn't blocked WikiLeaks is because the result would be an exodus of Americans supporting WikiLeaks for the simple fact of free speech and free media to prevent censorship. Ironically, the military can't do anything legally, but it HAS said it could take action through cyber attacks. They could plug up the networks for WikiLeaks etc., which would be no different than censorship. This means they have already come out and said that they want to censor WikiLeaks like all the other countries, but they are in a pickle because it could open a whole new can 'o worms.

Further looking into things, why is it that the military didn't block WikiLeaks from government computers, but is telling military personnel that if they access or download any classified documents from WikiLeaks, then it will open up Pandora's box in the legal sense? All it would take is one military personnel to download a confidential document from WikiLeaks, then mass e-mail personnel. The result is multi-million dollars in damages for having to scrub each computer. This is beyond retarded.

Would people be naive enough to believe that in order to block access to WikiLeaks in the government sector that the public sector would have to be censored too?
