The Onion has deleted a parody article about the Chechen rebels and the Moscow theater siege. It was pretty tame by Onion standards. Last week, it appeared here: http://www.theonion.com/onion3842/those_chechen_rebels.html Now it's quietly disappeared. The URL no longer works, and the article does not show up on a search of the site. Google has archived it here: http://216.239.33.100/search?q=cache:aTDv7HqpUIsJ:www.theonion.com/oni on3842/those_chechen_rebels.html+onion+chechen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 I've mirrored an excerpt here: http://www.politechbot.com/docs/onion.deleted.112002.txt I don't know the reason for the deletion. I invite The Onion to reply. -Declan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
