Score one for freedom...

A Pentagon panel decided this week that the sale of popular skin magazines Playboy and Penthouse can continue on US military bases, ruling that their contents are not "****ually explicit."

The decision came after a challenge from various concerned citizens charging that by selling the pröñ publications, the military was in violation of a decade-old US law.

However, the panel determined that a handful of magazines and videos -- including such titles as "Wet" and "Blonde and Beyond" -- would be banned from Pentagon shelves in the future.

Arsht added that the Pentagon panel would undertake an "expeditious review" of other X-rated materials, including publications like "Playboy's Vixen," "Curves," and "*><><><*."
