The web blocker used by the US Army contains a lot of questionable blocking apparently based on the frequency at some point in time of the appearance of certain words on web sites. So if there was a use of 'towel head' or 'goat f*cker' a site might get blocked as 'hate speech'. The nervousness of the government to not do anything to offend the Islamos is unbelievable.

The sites in question are more likely being blocked as "entertainment". FR is not blocked BTW. (There'd be a mutiny!)
