I made the post some time after the fact.

I read about this on a number of conservative websites while it was happening, and watched as enthusiastic commentors found new ones.

By the time I got around to looking for myself, all the directories had been sealed up except the one where they kept the web graphics. I assume that one's been buttoned up by now.

I'm no fan of Obama, but my own personal opinion is that publicly posting vulnerabilities in another person's website while those sites are still vulnerable is like keying someone's car. Even if it's someone you can't stand, it's still like keying their car. Bad form, to say the least.

I posted it as an information item, i.e. this is what happened. I could post links to the right-wing bloggers who caught this, but the links are still there. I suppose they're safe now, but who knows?

The other issue, moderating public comments, is a no-brainer on a political site. They've been wiping them as they catch them, but that just looks worse, and is really no different as far as freedom of speech is concerned. Besides, Obama's political enemies have already cached all the dirt by then.

Data on the Internet is forever.
