FBI DDOS? -- 12:31 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Wraith sent along some news he found on The Hacker News Network. According to this Wired News story, the webmaster of a site which archives all kinds of material related to spy networks claims that his site has come under a DDOS attack after he refused to take down some classified Japanese secrets at the request of the FBI. Coincidence? Kinda makes you go, "Hmmmmmm," doesn't it. Or, as Wraith put it, "I'm telling ya, sometimes it creeps me out to live in the US . . ."

Actually, the whole Carnivore thing creeps me out a lot more than this does. Notice that I said, "creeps me out" not "surprises me." I wouldn't be terribly surprised to find a very small FBI operative living in my sock drawer.
