Beheadings of civilians = war Crimes
Aiding and comforting the enemy = Treason
Humiliation and taunting of captured terrorists = Good clean fun

Google News gets its sights crossed
By Sam Varghese
December 3, 2004 - 11:41A
A satirical article about Canada arresting US President George W. Bush in Ottawa and charging him with war crimes appeared as the top story on Google News without the editor's note that identified it as satire.
The article was up on Google's US news page on November 30, according to Zone-H.org, a website that tracks web defacements.
The story, from a site called Axis of Logic, had a heading "Political Satire" plus this disclaimer: "Yes folks, this story is political satire, not fact."
It was apparently inspired by a Reuters story that a group called Center for Constitutional Rights filing war crimes charges against Donald Rumsfeld, George Tenant and others in the Bush administration.
Google News appears to have missed the disclaimer while parsing the site.
Google News says "The selection and placement of stories on this page were determined automatically by a computer program" at the bottom of its main news page.
A senior Unix developer in Melbourne, who preferred anonymity, said: "When the production of news is entrusted to faceless automatons, you end up with George Bush being arrested in Canada. What if a story 'Russia launches pre-emptive strike on...', had been (mis)reported?"
He pointed out that during the cold war era, there were protocols in place to prevent false-start Armageddons. "Today, these protocols should be updated to include the possibility that Google got it wrong," he commented.
Comment has been sought from Google.

Well that explains why the picture of him looked kind of fake in the article.

John just added a new censor program. Give him some time to tweak it. It probably has the president's name among the default censored words, since many people use it as a vulgar term for a part of the female anatomy.
