White House Website Limits Iraq-Related Crawling
oscarcar writes "Dan Gillmor is reporting on the White House website's use of its robots.txt file to disable search engines from crawling certain material. Many excluded items in the robots.txt file involve mentions of Iraq, possibly to prevent people from finding changes to past statements and information when archived elsewhere."
Really - who cares.
This is news?!?! Dear Lord, a webmaster changed his robots.txt, special at eleven!
I give less than 5 minutes before all the conspiracy theorists come out of the woodwork. Oops. Too late!
The above link shows us where all the Iraq-related content from whitehouse.gov has been archived.
"possibly to prevent people from finding changes to past statements and information when archived elsewhere."
Yeah, that's not a baseless accusation at all...

It's all a roose to point the blame at someone else when we all known in our hearts it belongs soley on Slashdot.org and Rob Malda
And just when it was thought the article submitter was the most paranoid nutjob on /. today, you manage to shatter all expectations and records. Congratulations.
Oh come on. The lefty whiners couldn't even comprehend what Bush said about Iraq's threat. The lefty idiots somehow still insist that Bush claimed Saddam was behind 9/11 and that Saddam posed an "imminent threat". Of course anyone paying attention knew that Bush said neither, but the lefty media circle-jerk has almost made it true.
So now the left is trying to come up with new "lies" by the administration, but they aren't even clever enough to name what they might be.
Truly pathetic.
As for Chomsky - he is about as credible as Robert Mugabe.
Kind of like...
Or how about these highly classified directories that the White House doesn't want anyone to crawl...
You know... the liberals that are going bonkers looking for a conspiracy here are just plain comic relief. It is 100% obvious that someone made an error when building the robots.txt file. Or do you think there is a lot on the topic of Barney for Kids in Iraq? Or an Iraqi don't call list? Or the problem of illegal logging in Iraq? Or the history of African Americans in Iraq? Or how about Easter in Iraq?
Come on knee-jerk liberals... This time your knees jerked your feet right into your respective mouths. :)
Yes you can.
On the way to the loony bin, don't forget your tinfoil hat. Alternatively, you could turn on NPR and hear nothing but the horrors and evils of the current administration.
You troll.
There is nothing to see here! But it's fun watching liberals go apeshit over it anyway. :)
