Un investigador social se disponía a revisar documentos que se pueden obtener libremente del gobierno de ocupación norteamericano en Irak (CPA) y por error, su hijo de ocho años habilitó el modo de "Ver cambios realizados en este documento" y desenterrar lo que los editores quitaron antes de publicar!! en todas las revisiones de todos los documentos!!

 The secret Iraq documents my 8-year-old found

With a couple of keystrokes, you too can read the hidden history of the Coalition Provisional Authority, America’s late, unlamented occupation government in Iraq.

Editor’s note: The document discussed in this story can be viewed here, both with and without its hidden text.

Nowhere in any of these theories, including the "boring" one, does the author address the dissolution of the Iraqi Army as a major contributor to the violence. Nowhere, in fact, does the author seem to know which "bums" or "losers" are attacking the Americans or why. Indeed, the most remarkable passage in the entire deletion is a simple statement by an Iraqi businessman, whom the writer quotes in passing while explaining why American-induced economic prosperity will end the fighting. "It is nothing personal," the Iraqi says. "I like you and believe you could be bringing us a better future, but I still sympathize with those who attack the coalition because it is not right for Iraq to be occupied by foreign military forces." In the world of the CPA circa 2004, first one American glosses over this Iraqi’s prophetic words, and then another tries — unsuccessfully, as it turns out — to delete them.
