Back in 2006 there was a bit of an uproar from the Lieberman campaign who accused the Lamont campaign of performing a Denial of Service attack on their website. For those of you waiting for the final word, the FBI concluded that there was no concerted effort to  crash the Senator's site. Lieberman's site crashed largely because of poor work by an Internet Consultant.

The site crash occurred in the run-up to Mr. Lamont's upset victory over Mr. Lieberman in the August Democratic primary. But Mr. Lieberman managed to win re-election as an independent in November. In December, the authorities declared that the site had not been hacked, but did not confirm that it had simply been overloaded, as seemed likely.

Now it appears the culprit was indeed a badly configured site and too much e-mail traffic, according to an Oct. 25, 2006, F.B.I. e-mail message turned over to The Advocate in response to its freedom-of-information filing.

"The server that hosted the joe2006.com Web site failed because it was overutilized and misconfigured," the e-mail memo said. "There was no evidence of (an) attack." According to the memo, the site crashed because Lieberman officials continually exceeded a configured limit of 100 e-mails per hour the night before the primary, The Advocate reported.

The final conclusion? Senator Lieberman is as incompetent at hiring competent campaign staff as he is as a US Senator.
