Subject: Lieberman blames Rove-like tactics for Web site disruption

Dave,
I don't know if any of your tech-savvy readership has been following the kerfuffle in Connecticut over the Dem primary -- Sen. Lieberman charges shadowy Lamont forces "hacked" his web site; bloggers dig up a growing pile of circumstantial evidence pointing to missteps by Lieberman's own campaign -- but I would very much like to hear thoughts from anyone who has been
following this.

A follow up report on Crooks and Liars* mentioned that Lieberman's website was hosted on a $15/month shared website account on MyHostCamp.com with a 10 gb/month bandwidth limit (if you try to access www.joe2006.com, a suspended account error is visible). If this is the case, this is just rank stupidity by the campaign's IT staff trying to save a few bucks. It's entirely possible that they hit their bandwidth limit and were shut off. If this is the case, then it's incredibly cynical to try to blame this blunder on machinations by Lamont's campaign...

:/ M.
