Hacker forces 1,500 Pentagon computers offline

PENTAGON - The Defense Department took as many as 1,500 computers off line because of a cyber attack, Pentagon officials said Thursday.

Few details were released about the attack, which happened Wednesday, but Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the computer systems would be working again soon.

Gates said the Pentagon sees hundreds of attacks a day, and this one had no adverse impact on department operations. Employees whose computers were affected could still use their handheld BlackBerries.

I see this reported in the Guardian UK. As Cannes waits with bated breath for the opening of Michael Moore's movie today, Harvey Weinstein, whose Weinstein Company is behind the film, says that the US Government is trying to impound the negative of the film.

Documents released today by the DOJ include a 93-page collection of letters and e-mails regarding the US attorney firings and the congressional hearings on those.

I was looking through the PDF DOJ Document Set 2 Released on 3-28-2007 and found a draft letter that was being prepared in response to Harry Reids's letter, dated 8 February 2007, re Cummings.

There is a cover e-mail (see page 74 of 93) from Kyle Sampson to Christopher G. Oprison:

From: Sampson, Kyle
Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 6:02 PM
To: ‘Oprison, Christopher G.
Cc: Hertling, Richard
Subject: Reid letter v.4
Importance: High
Attachments: reid letter re cummins-griffin v.4.doc

Chris, I accepted your changes and then made some changes -- most are for accuracy (though a couple are stylistic). Call me (I need to leave in 5 minutes for my daughter’s dance recital!).

As reported in Hornito's diary on the rec list, the the House Judiciary Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee (CAL) voted to authorize the full committee Chairman John Conyers to issue subpoenas for current and former White House and Justice Department officials Karl Rove, Harriet Miers, William Kelley, Scott Jennings and Kyle Sampson, as well as documents that the Committee has not yet received.

As Eugene comments below, the earlier diary may give the false impression that subpoenas have already been issued. They have not, the subcommittee just voted to authorize the full committee to proceed with issuing subpoenas. However, so far there is nothing on the schedule for the full committee regarding the issuing of subpoenas. I presume they would have to meet first? It wouldn't be the case that Conyers can issue the subpoenas without a further vote in front of the full committee, would it?

The Judiciary Committee have released the following:

This is a gonna be quick. Apparently the POTUS is in Old Greenwich, CT, at the moment for a fundraiser in a private house. My brother was in the area just after the motorcade drove through. There were a sprinking of protestors there and only ONE SINGLE supporter carrying an American flag. This is Old Greenwich, traditionally a Republican stronghold! Read More

This story is so weird. This was no ordinary fender-bender.

Early this morning a flatbed truck traveling south on I-95 carrying a tomahawk test missile (without warhead attached) lost its cargo. The truck stalled and as driver tried to make it onto the exit ramp, another truck rear-ended it causing the tomahawk to spill onto the road. The bomb squad was called in to ensure it was safe.

Just when his image seems to be about as bad as it can get!

Mr Bush was heard telling UK Prime Minister Tony Blair privately that Syria should press the Lebanese militants to "stop doing this shit".

These word uttered while speaking with his mouth full. Did Barbs never tell him not to talk with his mouth open?

I just heard them announce that their replacement for The Dan Abrams Report is going to be Tucker Bow Tie Carlson. Yucky yuck. Not alone will he be on at primetime, but we'll have to dodge him twice -- he'll be on at 4PM EST and again at 6PM EST.

BBC is reporting that The European Court of Justice, the highest court within the EU, has blocked an EU-US agreement that requires airlines to transfer passenger data to the US authorities. The court said the decision to hand over the data was not founded on an "appropriate legal basis". The agreement demands that within 15 minutes of take-off for the United States, a European airline must send the US authorities 34 items of personal information about the passengers on board. This information includes credit card information and phone numbers. BBC World Service also suggeste that it included meal preferences, which could be used to determine someone's religion.
