The AP's DSM articles are disappearing AGAIN!!!!

[stickdog]

1) Go to http://news.google.com

2) Search for "foreign policy adviser dined with Condoleezza Rice" (enter the quotes as well).

3) Sort the results by date.

4) Note that the majority of headlines on the first four pages of results read Secret British Memos: Al-Qaida, Iraq Link 'Unconvincing'!

What a bombshell -- NOT! That's not even CLOSE to being the main story of the original AP article.

5) Now go to page 6 (results 51-60) of the search results and try to bring up the story for all the links. This link will be missing:

more to come ...

UPDATED WITH MORE CURRENT RESULTS!

[evermind]

1. Wasn't this due to automatic expiry on sites with limited feeds? (nt)

[stickdog]

2. After as little as THREE HOURS?

Whatever the reason, the story is both mutating and disappearing from local news sites very quickly. Once again.

[evermind]

9. Oh, but it was supposed to be after 12 hours last time, right?

Perhaps it was just *too* inconvenient, appearing at the same time as His Chimpness is proffering his own conviction on the Iraq -> Qaeda link..?

[Just Me]

4. DOH!!! *LOL*

:rofl:

Oh, my. Ever heard of the term, "self-sabotage"? Of course, there could ALWAYS be something else at work and I certainly wouldn't suggest that I know what underlies such activities. :eyes:

5. So

who's scrubbing these articles? Is there anyway of finding out?

[LightningFlash]

7. Fascist censorship in action!!!!!

They're pulling off all the gloves now.....Let's give them a 1-2-3 knockout punch.

I've been flooding and blasting the bastards to report the truth and do something about it, and they are now taking notice, from all of us!!!
:mad: :mad: :mad: :nuke: :banghead:

[Unforgiven]

11. Second Thought

can we mirror these article(s) before they are yanked?

[evermind]

12. After doing your search steps, I'm now seeing articles with a

much tamer heading: "Memos show Brits fretting over Iraq War"!!

Is this the same article? (eg http://www.poteaudailynews.com/articles/2005/06/18/ap/headlines/d8aqd44g0.txt )

[stickdog]

13. Yes, that's the NEW & IMPROVED headline, it seems. (nt)

[stickdog]

14. Summary as of 10:30 EDT. Out of 234 putative google news results ...

1) For 59 of the newest 60 postings, the headline has magically changed to from Memos Show British Concerns Over Iraq War to
Memos Show British Fretting Over Iraq War!

2) Another 40 have the bullshit (non)headline Secret British Memos: Al-Qaida, Iraq Link 'Unconvincing'!

3) At least 40 links to the story (first posted just 9 hours ago) have already disappeared!

That's over 140 out to 234 posting in which this AP story has been compromised in one way or another!

[evermind]

17. Actually, I like the "Iraq Al-Qaida link 'unconvincing'" headline best

because it flies in the face of what Shrubby was saying tonight (well, according to what I read about what he was saying here)

[stickdog]

19. "Head of British Intel Says Bush Fixed Intelligence To Justify War"

But that's just me.

[stickdog]

15. UPDATE: The missing/404 page results now start on results page 13

and go to results page 20.

[LightningFlash]

16. Save all the documents in the AP article immediately.

Put them up on mirror sites back to back, get everything saved for easy consumption.

[evermind]

18. Why? They're all the same article, aren't they? (Edit: oops! You

mean the pdfs at the bottom of the article.. But they are just the ones that have been on the net since last Oct. They're saved all over the place!

[LightningFlash]

21. They may not be new, but someone wants to have them removed.

Got to keep them all saved, hard copied to multiple websites you know.

[evermind]

22. Well, don't let me stop you, but they are already at rawstory,

informationclearinghouse.info, afterdowningstreet.org, cryptome.org and others...

[kansasblue]

20. Still on Yahoo news
