After Germany's Federal Criminal Police raided service provider Host Europe, they linked one of he IRC servers to Dallas's Tailor Made Services, the documents state. Two hard drives were seized from Dallas's Tailor Made Services on Dec. 16, the Smoking Gun reports. Another IRC server has been traced to Fremont, California's Hurricane Electric.Wonder if this is the source of the DDOS attacks on Free Republic on the last day of the "Lame Duck Session"?

Weird stuff was happening on the internet last night. Google and Yahoo were both down for a while. FR was fine as were links to articles. It was weird that search engines were showing the could not connect page.
