    Default Feds Blame Lieberman for Web Site Crash

    Feds Blame Lieberman for Web Site Crash

    Wednesday April 9, 8:17 PM EDT

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Joe Lieberman's re-election campaign caused its own Web site to crash on the eve of the August 2006 Connecticut primary, federal investigators have found — not supporters of Democratic challenger Ned Lamont, whom Lieberman implied were responsible.

    "In short, the server that hosted the joe2006.com Web site failed because it was overutilized and misconfigured," according to an Oct. 25, 2006, e-mail included in FBI documents obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press. "There was no evidence of (an) attack."

    Once reported by the media, the accusations by Lieberman's campaign helped overwhelm the Web site on primary day, too, the investigators said.

    The Advocate of Stamford, Conn., first reported the results of the investigation.

    Lamont said Wednesday that Lieberman, a Democratic-leaning independent, should apologize.

    "Senator Lieberman's campaign team accused an awful lot of good people of breaking the law on the eve of the primary, and they did it for political purposes," Lamont told the AP in a telephone interview. "If he does the right thing, he'll stand up and say, 'I was wrong."

    Lieberman had implied that Lamont supporters had hacked the site, saying on primary day: "I'm concerned that our Web site is knocked out on the day of the primary, you'd assume it wasn't any casual observer."

    I remember this, and knew that day that LIEberman was making false accusations. I love how Lamont says LIEberman should apolgize now. Yeah, that matters.
