Politech: Canadian Website Shut Down for Photo of US POW

Declan McCullagh's Politech is carrying a story stating that YellowTimes.org, a Canadian website, was shut down for two hours until they removed a photo of an American POW and a photo of a dead Iraqi child.

McCullagh says "YellowTimes told me that their hosting provider, Vortech Hosting, pulled the plug because of pressure from its upstream provider, Level3.net. Ogrish.com has posted a far more disturbing video clip and hasn't received any threats yet (at least as of mid-afternoon [March 24th])".

At one point, YellowTimes had posted an article on the incident here, but their hosting has been suspended entirely.
