From Greenwich Time 4/9/08:

A federal investigation has concluded that Sen. Joseph Lieberman's 2006 re-election campaign was to blame for the crash of its Web site the day before Connecticut's heated Aug. 8 Democratic primary.

The FBI office in New Haven found no evidence supporting the Lieberman campaign's allegations that supporters of primary challenger Ned Lamont of Greenwich were to blame for the Web site crash.

Lieberman, who was fighting for his political life against the anti-Iraq war candidate Lamont, implied that joe2006.com was hacked by Lamont supporters.

"The server that hosted the joe2006.com Web site failed because it was overutilized and misconfigured. There was no evidence of (an) attack," according to the e-mail.

At the time, Lieberman accused supporters of his opponent, Ned Lamont, of being responsible:

Visitors who tried to access Lieberman's site at the time received a message calling on Lamont to "make an unqualified statement denouncing this kind of dirty campaign trick and to demand whoever is responsible to cease and desist immediately."

The incident was covered in the media because the Lieberman-Lamont race captured national and international attention.

Blumenthal denied The Advocate's FOI request on the grounds it was a federal matter, and it took more than a year for the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice to respond.

The Lieberman campaign alleged it was the target of a "denial of service attack," which can involve bombarding a Web site with external communications to slow it or render it useless.

Lieberman and his minions falsely accused Lamont of something their own mismanagement caused. Of course, most readers of this blog know that Lieberman has been lying about Iraq for years, pandering to war profiteers rather than showing loyalty to our country and the people who are stuck in Iraq in an illegal and unAmerican war.

Lieberman will do anything to keep power. No one should ever trust anything that man says.
