Much Ado About Nothing

On: Memory Holes and the Internet (updated)

This is not evidence of a conspiracy between the leaders of our government and the owners of various media outlets. George Bush did not make some phone call to some shady Time executive to call in a favor.

The page you've requested is an excerpt from a book by Brent Scowcroft and George H. W. Bush titled A World Transformed, which appeared in the March 2, 1998, issue of TIME magazine under the title "Why We Didn't Remove Saddam". It has been removed from our site because the publisher did not grant us rights to sell the piece online through the TIME archive.

It's simple. The piece was an excerpt from a published book and it was removed from the archives because they naturally didn't have permission from the publisher to sell it.
