Instead of isolating the information from the Internet, Interior took down all of their websites except for U.S. Geological Survey. Evidently they are working on bringing sites back up. The court order was issued on Wednesday December 5, 2001 by District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth. It looks like the governement is not appealing the decision. This means that all pages of the Bureau of Indian Affairs,Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Minerals Management Service, National Park Service, and Office of Surface Mining are not available.
