Baghdad -- Apparently in response to a blanket e-mail campaign by the U.S. military urging dissent and defections, the Iraqi government shut down -- at least temporarily -- all Internet access and the country's two e-mail servers.
Although no official explanation was given, e-mail service stopped midafternoon on Friday. Some service was resumed Saturday morning.
