The White House has modified its web site

so now Google won't archive searches that have "Iraq" in the query. Kevin Drum wondered why, but Jesse Berney (at the Democratic Party's website) has a perfectly logical explanation. (If you've got a better one, please post it here.)

So what they were saying... if theres "iraq" in the site.. then its not found in google. hmm.. democrat website not found.. thats fine by me

"Orwellian"??

I think that's a bit over the top. After all, communications/marketing managers in the corporate sector are getting just as astute about these little changes to search engine indexing and such. They are not trying to rewrite history, they are simply trying to make their bosses/corporations look better.

Marketing, pure and simple. Just because it's marketing politics people get all het up about it.

IMO (which is pretty politically naive), anyway.
