State Dept. Giveth, State Dept. Taketh Away

Guess what happens when you try to go the the State Department web page containing Colin Powell's statement condemning Ukrainian election fraud?

"We cannot accept this result as legitimate because it does not meet international standards* and because there has not been an investigation of the numerous and credible reports of fraud and abuse. We have been following developments very closely and are deeply disturbed by the extensive and credible reports of fraud in the election. We call for a full review of the conduct of the election and the tallying of election results."

- Colin Powell, in a State Department briefing on November 24, 2004

Maybe the statement hit too close to home for the fraud-dependent Bush administration?

* Not only are they concerned about election fraud, but they require a "global test" :)
