Elsewhere (
http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=61442&group=webcast), ram reports that on the Parliament web site, the record of Tony Blair's statements on Tuesday 24 September 2002 about Iraq-Niger uranium dealing (which, we now know, was based on forged evidence - see http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?030331fa_fact1), has gone missing.
Google has this link to it:
www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/cm200102/ cmhansrd/cm020924/debtext/20924-01.htm
That link gives the response from the Parliament site:
Not Found - The requested object does not exist on this server. The link you followed is either outdated, inaccurate, or the server has been instructed not to let you have it
The Google cache of that page is here:
http://216.239.39.100/search?q=cache:OkEQAyHyZB8C:www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/cm200102/cmhansrd/cm020924/debtext/20924-01.htm+iraq+uranium+africa+september+site:parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk&hl=en&start=1&ie=UTF-8
...where you can read Mr Blair informing the House of Commons that "we know that Saddam has been trying to buy significant quantities of uranium from Africa, though we do not know whether he has been successful. Again, key personnel who used to work on the nuclear weapons programme are back in harness. Iraq may claim that that is for a civil nuclear power programme, but I would point out that it has no nuclear power plants."
Since the original page is unaccounted for, I searched Hansard (starts here: http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/cgi-bin/dialogserverTSO?DB=ukparl&FILE=searchJS&DATETYPE=ANY) for the title of the missing page "Iraq and Weapons of Mass Destruction" + Mr. Tony Blair and got this response:
(Iraq AND Weapons AND Mass AND Destruction, AND Mr. AND Tony AND Blair)
No items have been found that match your search criteria
I also tried searching the "bound volumes" for Tuesday 24 September 2002 to find Mr Blair's address:
( http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200102/cmindex/390/index-21.htm#I - scroll down to "Iraq") but couldn't locate it.
Slewths?
