So if somebody doesn't like our coverage of them,
then they only have to send us an "official take-down notice" [*],
and we'll remove the page from general circulation
and list it to possibly be deleted?

In that case, Saddam Hussein should contact us.
(The real one this time.)

[*] Unless Bradford is suggesting a copyright violation
(and that can't be the stuff that ''he'' submitted!),
then I don't even know what an "offical take-down notice" is.
There's the DMCA procedure for copyright,
but Bradford's letter charged defamation (libel/slander).
