Truthout attacked, knocked offline.
Edited on Sun Feb-20-11 01:03 PM by Jackpine Radical
My wife just tried to get live streaming from Madison on their site.

From their website:

Site off-line

Truthout’s main web site, www.truth-out.org, has been knocked offline. Right now we’re assessing the damage and working to resume operations. We will keep you updated as we come to understand the severity of the attack and assess our options.

1. They published the Gulf story by Jamal Dhar

5. Stuff in my inbox they reported on last week
Jason Leopold on Guantanamo, reports on Wisconsin, Egpyt. A Monsanto story and a BP expose.

What information in those reports would trigger an attack against TRUTHOUT?

I got this:
Site off-line

Truthout’s main web site, www.truth-out.org, is temporarily offline. Right now we’re working to resume operations.

Last night DU went off line for me, I couldn't get anything, said server was busy try again later.

12. Working for me. How do they know it was an attack and not
just a server problem. Stuff does happen.

14. Yup, they're back up.
And I have no particular insight into what made them think it was an attack. I was just reporting what they said.
