Exploring Forbidden Zones (Possible Useful Reference -- Banned Web Sites)
DER SPIEGEL ^ | 20 February 2006 | DER SPIEGEL

A Web site collects information on 1,200 sites that have been closed to the public by militaries and governments -- from Roswell to the Bushehr nuclear facility in Iran. But the highlight is a 3D model of the Guantanamo prison camp.

Christoph Wachter and Mathias Jud have been collecting data about the world's restricted military zones for more than five years now. The two Swiss citizens, who live in Berlin, have collected their findings on Zone Interdite, a Web site with more than 1,200 sites that are all linked to Google Maps and data they have collected about every site from Area 51 in Roswell, New Mexico, to the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Area 51 in Roswell, New Mexico

Measure of website's (or article's) credibilty:

Walker AFB is in Roswell, NM; Area 51 is at Groom Lake, NV...

Vincent Panetta is allied with the kooks seeking to 'open up' Area 51... so is that bastard Jonathan Turley you see doing the talking-head-circuit.

Sounds more like a reference to closed geographic sites, not banned websites.

Heh... I noticed several articles indicating previously declassified material (under Clintion) had been withdrawn too.

I would imagine some of this sites material would still be available if one searched thu some of the stored caches accessible... (I better stop there).
