Getting the genie back in the bottle; was: Disturbing News

A couple of weeks ago there was a post about attempts by various government
agencies to "recall" information posted on web sites (and elsewhere) that
might now seem too sensitive in our new state of security consciousness
(see <http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-111801inform.story>
for the original story).

It now seems that it is not always so easy to recall such information, as
they probably should have foreseen: see
<http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/la-000094419nov27.story> for a
follow up.
