[YellowTimes told me that their hosting provider, Vortech Hosting, pulled the plug because of pressure from its upstream provider, Level3.net. Ogrish.com has posted a far more disturbing video clip and hasn't received any threats yet (at least as of mid-afternoon). --Declan]

Declan, In case you have not heard yet, the Canadian web site, YellowTimes.org, was shut dow for two hours until they removed content that their hosting company deemed offensive. The 'offensive' content was a photo of an American POW and a photo of a dead Iraqi child. You can find YellowTimes side of the story here: http://www.yellowtimes.org./article.php?sid=1206&mode=thread&order=0 -- Robert J.
