Something's just not right here...
When I was over catching up at Indianz.com this morning, I noticed a recent entry (1/5/07) at In the Hoop, the site's blog. ItH had a screen shot of the official website of the Senate Indain Affairs Committee, which until the new Democratic Congress was innaugurated on Janary 4th, was chaired by Senator John McCain (R-AZ). I've reproduced that image below:
Clearly, while Democrats took power in all other House and Senate committees, SIAC witnessed a coup.
The attention Indianz.com placed on the website apparently had an impact, as this graphic is all that now remains of the site:
While this might seem funny on some level, with the recent indications that J. Steven Griles will soon be indicted, in part due to his testimony before SIAC in 2005, the loss of the SIAC website, and all its archives, including hearings video and transcripts, is unbelievably untimely. In fact, it seems just a tad too convenient.
