Spoken too soon?
I really hope, in the interest of truthseekers and historians everywhere, that before going public with this story (in spite of the Hollywood-esque hook of an 8-year-old discoverer of 'government secrets'), that Pete Moore downloaded all available CPA documents written in MS Word. And, further, that he might have alerted someone clever enough to search out all MS Word documents on all government websites so that they too could be saved and searched for unwittingly readable deleted material.
Seriously. I've seen the same problem show up in an office setting, but would not have expected to see it in official government websites ... on second thought, to not expect that type of thing was probably delusional of me. Anyway, such raw material inadvertantly posted to government websites probably exists across a broad spectrum of government sites on the web, but probably not so many that a comprehensive download of .docs from .gov sites wouldn't be doable. That is, before everyone scrambles to correct the situation as word of mouth spreads about Pete Moore's 8-year-old.
I mean, c'mon, wouldn't you love to read the outtakes from whatever might have been made public in .doc form about, say, Dick Cheney's Energy Task Force meetings? If you're reading this and you're technologically savvy enough to accomplish the saving of public .doc pages from .gov websites before they're scrubbed ... please, GET BUSY!
