WikiLeaks Dropped by Domain Name Provider

WikiLeaks' American domain name system provider, EveryDNS, has withdrawn service to the wikileaks.org name after the secret-spilling website once again became the target of hack attacks. EveryDNS said in a statement that it dropped the website late Thursday because the attacks threatened the rest of its network. "Wikileaks.org has become the target of multiple distributed denial of service attacks. These attacks have, and future attacks would, threaten the stability of the EveryDNS.net infrastructure," it said in a statement. EveryDNS provides access to some 500,000 websites.

Europe Tries to Contain Debt Crisis

European finance officials set the stage for an Irish aid package they hope to complete Sunday, betting that billions of euros for the country's beleaguered banks and strained public finances will restore calm to the euro zone.

Abolish to TSA

The Republicans control the House of Representatives and are bracing for a long battle over the President’s health care proposal. In the spirit of bipartisanship and sanity, I propose that the first thing on the chopping block should be an ineffective organization that wastes money, violates our rights, and encourages us to make decisions that imperil our safety. I’m talking about the Transportation Security Administration.
