Heh.

Quite the most thorough "cleansing" I've seen - Google won't find
copies on sites where it was indexed hours ago.  Oddly, a Chinese news
server provides a censorship-free picture of the world:



Former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno speaks at Brown By Associated
Press, 3/17/2003 22:41

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) In the war against terrorism, the Bush administration
has failed to balance the scales of liberty and security, former U.S.
Attorney General Janet Reno told a packed audience Monday night at Brown
University.

After watching President Bush's address, Reno said, ''We will not solve the
world's problems by might.''

''I had hoped people would come up with an opportunity for him to save
face,'' she said.

Bush on Monday night said the United States would lead a war against Iraq
unless Saddam Hussein in the next 48 hours went into exile.

Reno also criticized the White House's policy toward enemy combatants.

''Two citizens today are being held incommunicado in military brigs in
this country, without being charged, without access to counsel, by the
simple fact that the president has declared them what is called 'enemy
combatants,''' Reno said, referring to ''dirty bomb'' suspect Jose Padilla
and the Louisiana-born Yasser Esam Hamdi.

''What has happened to the Bill of Rights? What has happened to due
process? What has happened to the Geneva Convention? If they're not
prisoners of war, what are they? And what rights do they have?'' she asked.

Reno, whose father immigrated to the United States from Denmark, also
denounced profiling at the borders.

''We are a nation of immigrants, made great by immigrants,'' she said.

Reno was the first female attorney general. She made an unsuccessful bid
last year for governor of Florida, losing to the president's brother,
Republican Gov. Jeb Bush.
