Joe, with the complicity of the Connecticut Attorney General and the FBI, are attempting to create a controversy over this issue, no doubt to invent fodder for his indie bid.
U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman's campaign Web site remained offline Thursday, and federal and state authorities were investigating why it crashed on the eve of this week's defeat in a high-profile primary.
The site, Joe2006.com, appeared to have suffered from a so-called "denial of service" attack, in which computers overwhelm a site with fake traffic so real visitors can't get through, said Richard M. Smith, an Internet security consultant in Brookline, Mass.
The Lieberman campaign denied speculation among liberal Web pundits that the centrist Democrat's Web site had simply crashed because it used a low-budget Web host unable to handle the volume.
By far the best quote:
The site also was attacked by hackers a month ago. They were able to replace Lieberman's page with one that said, "We ownz u site."

Officials have released a sketch of the suspected culprit, known only as Bloggus Loonius. Due to the summer heat, he has doffed his normal bathrobe. Unkempt and overly hirsute, he is ever poised to crash his enemies' websites should the need arise.
Investigators also believe they've recorded Bloggus in action, perhaps crashing Lieberman's site or just making what they speculate was an especially salient point. The wave file may be accessed here:
