Pentagon Edited Wikipedia Entry Of Gay Soldier Killed In Iraq, Evidence Shows

Washington Blade :

A Wikipedia article about Maj. Alan Rogers, a gay soldier who was killed in January in Iraq, was apparently edited by someone in the Pentagon, who removed any mention that Rogers was gay.

The user on Monday redacted details about Rogers that appeared on the online encyclopedia site. Information that was deleted included Rogers' sexual orientation; the soldier's participation in American Veterans for Equal Rights, a group that works to change military policy toward gays; and the fact that Rogers' death helped bring the U.S. military's casualty toll in Iraq to 4,000.

Keep in mind that this doesn't necessarily mean that the Pentagon was behind the editing of the Wikipedia article - - but rather it was probably just an individual who works at the Pentagon.

The title of this article makes it sound like the Pentagon was conspiring to cover this up.
