the reason you can't get to GW's site

By John Leyden
Published Wednesday 27th October 2004 10:30 GMT

International access to the official re-election website of Us President George W. Bush (www.georgewbush.com) has been blocked. Surfers from outside the US trying to reach the site receive an "access denied" message.

Netcraft reports that the site, hosted at SmarTech Corporation, began using the Akamai content distribution network to manage traffic on 21 October. The move followed a six hour outage on 19 October, which also the official site of the Republican National Committee. Neither organisation gave reasons for the outage.

Since Monday morning (25 October) GeorgeWBush.com began rejecting web requests from outside the United States, Netcraft reports. Those outside America can only reach the site through US based proxies (such as proxify.com) but not through European proxies, Reg readers report.

As a security measure this doesn't make an awful lot of sense but the move does mean soldiers and other Americans abroad can't reach the re-election website. A number of reports (such as this by news agency AFP) suggest the site was inaccessible yesterday because of an attack by hackers but this would seem to be a misinterpretation of the site's newly-instigated isolationist policy. GeorgeWBush.com is built on Microsoft's Internet Information Server web server platform. ®

Perhaps they should have said outside North America cause it opens here in B.C.

If Bush had his way, he'd also find some way to make all Americans not be able to see news sources from outside the US...

or maybe they took the site down to patch the holes after they found out about this:

It's a Net-tlesome problem

Maybe It's because Al Gore invented it, but Republicans seem to have a hard time with the Internet.

First it was Dick Cheney mangling a Web address at the veep debate to send supporters to an anti-Bush site.

Now another anti-Bush site, georgewbush.org, has posted all sorts of secret E-mails mistakenly sent to it by Bush campaign workers who confused dot-com with dot-org.

Among the documents are the results of phone banking, a plea for a more "intelligent" position on stem cell research and young male workers sharing photos of First Daughter Barbara Bush and musing about how good they would look with her.
