Note: I believe and do confirm that Uruknet is an invaluable resource and one of the best sites on the Internet, in English, that is documenting Iraq's tragedy from the point of view of the atrocities of the occupiers and the news of Iraq's patriotic Resistance.

And know, this is not just about Uruknet.
To allow Google to censor the truth and the free flow of information is voluntarily to relinquish a core tool in the struggle against tyranny.
On January 12, 2007 Google has stopped indexing Uruknet.info as a news source We wrote to Google News and this is their reply: Thank you for your message. We apologize for the confusion, we've reviewed your site again and are unable to include it in Google News at this time. They are unable? and for which reason? Of course there isn’t any technical reason, because Google.news have been indexing Uruknet up to five days ago and although old pages are still available, there has been no update since then. The only "technical reason" is censorship.We rewrote to Google.news and their reply was even more cryptic: Although we're unable to provide specific information at this time, we sincerely appreciate your interest in Google News and your willingness to provide us with your content. (...) This isn't the first time that Google discontinues indexing Uruknet. On February 18, 2005, Google.news removed Uruknet.info as a news source, apparently thanks to Michelle Malkin's protestations only to reinstate them - following many complaints sent in by our readers (...) As our readers know, we never carried out campaigns neither for fund-raising nor for any other kind of aid. Although we’ve been able to provide, in spite of sacrifice, for maintenance and safeguard of Uruknet and mirroring websites, and although we succeeded, notwithstanding such a great deal of problems, to face all damages caused by hacking attacks, now Google’s censorship risks to be a blow too hard to ward off. We therefore kindly request our readers to write to Google asking Uruknet.info to be reinstated as a news source....
