Did anyone else read this? If it was hacked then because this is a reaction security measure and not a "we want to keep all non-amercians from seeing our stuff". I would guess it is a security measure has it is easy to see mirrors of it outside the country. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Berend-Jan Wever > Sent: Friday, October 29, 2004 5:47 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Full-Disclosure] Slightly off-topic: www.georgewbush.com > > Hi all, > > Want to view www.georgewbush.com from outside the US?
