Rewriting history.

This Washington Post article is nothing new, but I wanted to document it nonetheless, and possibly disseminate (that’s where you, Reader, come in). Mostly, “White House Web Scrubbing” is about Iraq-related issues; here’s a particularly nauseating non-Iraq excerpt:

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and USAID have removed or revised fact sheets on condoms, excising information about their effectiveness in disease prevention, and promoting abstinence instead. The National Cancer Institute, meanwhile, scrapped claims on its Web site that there was no association between abortion and breast cancer. And the Justice Department recently redacted criticism of the department in a consultant’s report that had been posted on its Web site.
