I'm thankful that we don't have to rely on the White House web page for information (although I'm sure that's where W goes when he wants to know all that may be happening in the world). Apparently, the White House webmaster has been directed to limit access to pages dealing with Iraq.

Using a few lines of code in the pages, the White House is preventing search engines from listing those pages for those of us researching events in Iraq.
