This was my thought as well. The analysis was wrong ("They have weapons! He has an RPG! Several AK-47s!") and that's a mistake which shows the need for better analysis. I mean, the guy did appear to have an RPG to me before they opened fire, but it didn't look like he was pointing it at any of them.
Far worse was the decision not to evacuate the kids. I mean, the soldiers on the ground had a much better view of what was going on, and to deny that was a travesty. And the cover-up makes it all that much worse.
In general, I see this as bad intelligence leading to a unfortunate call by soldiers looking to keep themselves safe. That doesn't excuse what happened by the commanders by any means. But I can't image being in that pilot's seat. Or the ground soldier when they made the call not to evacuate the kids.
Besides, if you really wanted to block them, wouldn't one just block the Googlebot? Or nofollow the entire site? Or robots.txt the entire site?
What they really want is to be in the top of the search results without having to have the stuff out there. You can't have it both ways.
The point is that
Of course, they could just have him not have it some of the times, or put it in the motorcade when he isn't, etc, etc. I'd imagine that you could use some of the attacks mentioned in the article to foil the above scenario even without the president having a BB. For example, if you know which phones are SS phones, and suddenly 5 or 6 are *way* away from the "motorcade" you might suspect something is up.
For the US, I'd imagine it not being too big of an issue - but the point with him being in foreign countries is pretty important.

Basically what I was thinking as well. I did it while I was on a conference call, and was disappointed to see that this was all there was to it. I figured at the very least that it was just a first-level and the real puzzle would be on the site. Oh well.
