Missing: Johann Hari's website.
The website of the Independent's suspended columnist/interviewer/awards hoover Johann Hari has disappeared: http://www.johannhari.com/. And if you click cached on any of his Google story links, the message informs 'website closed'. This is a most worrying development. I should have thought this is the time to brazen out the accusations (of plagiarism, made-up quotes, etc) and proclaim one's innocence by maintaining accessibility of the evidence (of putative authentic journalism). I wonder whether Hari's judge and jury Andreas Whittam Smith knows about this.

It seems to be still in the cache.
eg:

I think the broken links are ones with spaces, that you need some
On your subtantive point, I think the problem is that there may be significant substance to the claims.
Most of the website can be accessed via archive.org, at the Indy or the Huff Post (though there are differences) or links here:

Thank you, most useful.
Poor Johann. Madame is everyone's port in a storm.
