Turkey Censoring Jawa Report/AOSHQ?

From time to time I get emails from people traveling abroad telling me that can't access The Jawa Report from [insert "moderate" Muslim country here]. The latest from a retired Air Force NCO:

Guys,

I read AOSHQ and jawareport all the time. I just got back from a vacation in Turkey. While there I could NOT access either site. Not from an internet cafe, nor from a friends home. And he had his own DSL connection.

I was there for 10 days. IT. NEVER. WORKED. I did get to Gates of Vienna sometimes. And usually to Hotair.

And when I tried KOS and HUFF I always got through.

So congrats. I guess both of you pissed of the AKP government in Turkey often enough to be blocked! If it makes you feel any better YOUTUBE has the same restrictions.

Just letting you know. Love your sites and keep up the good fight.
Typical.
