Bush site bars overseas visitors
BBC News

Surfers outside the US have been unable to visit the official re-election site of President George W Bush.

The blocking of browsers sited outside the US began in the early hours of Monday morning.

Since then people living outside the US trying to look at the site simply got a message saying "access denied".

The blocking does not appear to be due to an attack by vandals or malicious hackers, but as a result of a policy decision by the Bush camp.

An omen?

1. Like the rest of the world is not affected by US politics
"the site may see no reason to distribute content to people who will not be voting next week. "

Or whose countries may be invaded in the following weeks
