Change.gov: A Bit Orwellian?

CNN reports that http://change.gov/, the new transitional web site of the President-elect, is "still a little short on content." It wasn't always that way. Currently, the Agenda section of the web site (http://change.gov/agenda/) lists a brief, generalized statement of the plans of the President-elect. However, prior to the evening of Saturday, November 8, 2008, the Agenda section was quite rich in content, with numerous web pages on various subjects. It appears that thousands of interested parties disagreed with many of the policies listed, and they posted their concerns on the web site's commentary section, appropriately dubbed Of the People, By the People. Suddenly and without notice, the whole Agenda section disappeared. It was as if the agenda of the President-elect had been "rectified" by the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's 1984. All is not lost. The agenda of the President-elect, in its entirety, was preserved by Google Cache, and a complete copy is available for public review at: http://www.mega.nu/ampp/obama_agenda/agenda.html.
