Slashdot Story on Department of Interior forced offline

This SlashDot article states that the Department of the Interior has been forced offline again due to vague security concerns, cutting digital access to federal information. The Bush administration seems determined to reduce access to legitimate content: first ordering times and locations of public meetings removed from websites, then restricting access to information architecture materials through the DoE, and now the DoI is offline.

IO ERROR writes "The U.S. District Court ordered the Department of Interior to take all its systems offline for the third time, saying that its systems were too insecure to be left open. Among the systems to go offline are those that process payments owed to American Indians and Internet access in schools on Indian reservations.
