Thank you for the ping. It has me reading and googling.
I found that Michael Moore's website is down. It has been, that I know of, for at least two hours.
I was about to post the same thing. No response to ping of his web server IP address, ergo, it's not just web server process getting overloaded - that machine is OFF the Internet.
Seized along with his email server and every other computer in every one of his offices in the United States, one would hope, although it's unlikely.
More probably, taken down while they cleanse it of all reference to the "Head's Up... From Michael Moore" column, in which he claimed to have two operatives working secretly in Iraq, four days after the last time Berg was known to have contacted the outside world.
Here is a most interesting quote in the Columbia Journalism Review from a recent interview with this "Pete Tridish" person:
"Community radio doesn't have a person in Baghdad - well, actually we do"...

Can a citizen initiative demand the convention of a federal grand jury and resulting subpoena powers?
