"The Google" Bomb

From the New York Times:
Last March, the federal government set up a Web site to make public a vast archive of Iraqi documents captured during the war. The Bush administration did so under pressure from Congressional Republicans who had said they hoped to “leverage the Internet” to find new evidence of the prewar dangers posed by Saddam Hussein.

But in recent weeks, the site has posted some documents that weapons experts say are a danger themselves: detailed accounts of Iraq’s secret nuclear research before the 1991 Persian Gulf war. The documents, the experts say, constitute a basic guide to building an atom bomb.

Last night, the government shut down the Web site after The New York Times asked about complaints from weapons experts and arms-control officials. A spokesman for the director of national intelligence said access to the site had been suspended “pending a review to ensure its content is appropriate for public viewing.”
But if you vote for the Democrats, the terrorists win.

Rest assured, the righties and the chickenhawks will be outraged...that the New York Times ran the story. Despite the fact that the website was up for seven months and that it's now shut down, those traitors at the Times just gave Kim Jong Il the keys to Los Alamos. Oh, and this is now definite proof that Saddam Hussein was going to build an atomic bomb, so we were right to invade Iraq all along. Or something.
