DNS for the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom has been hijacked to a spam site for so long the top google result for USCIRF is the spam site!

that they've hijacked the whole domain (as uscirf.gov resolves to a number that reverse resolves to a 3rd party) and cleverly put in CNAME entries to point www.uscirf.gov to the official site in order to delay detection.

I've just emailed [email protected] about the problem.

edit: messing with the email would be a great way of telling ppl there's a problem so I doubt they'd have messed with that. I ran a check on the MX records and it looks like uscirf.gov are using a filtered service from Symantec so I'm sure that's OK.
