Better than blocking is to require those entities to identify themselves as such in their posts. Fat chance of them doing it however. I realize IPs are generally not posted for privacy reasons, however, it might be wise to have it automatically posted under certain rare circumstances. For example, when a post comes from a server known to belong to the aforementioned entities like the DEA, etc., or when it comes from someone posting under multiple names using the same IP. Or perhaps just use some extra text like "AKA: OtherName" or "Coming from .gov". It would only discourage it in a very general sense, but there is really no need to make it "easy" on those with intent to do that by hiding every IP across the board.
