The Guardian: now you see it, now you don't

Monday, The Guardian carried an op-ed by Shimon Peres, Israel's deputy prime minister. Based on the first paragraph, the deputy prime minister needs to promptly see his doctor so as to change his medication.

For reason's best known to itself, The Guardian placed the Peres op-ed in the Comment is Free section. And comments there were, plenty of comments. More than two hundred and fifty, until The Guardian closed and 'disappeared' the Peres op-ed and the comments it generated from CIF as well as from the Most Active table.

Perhaps the disappearance had to do with phone calls from an angry Israeli Embassy? Who knows.

For the time being, however, Peres + Comments is still accessible, if you dig around: CIF
