Presumably, this is about as much as DDoS as it was political pressure.
Amazon's official statement, http://aws.amazon.com/message/65348/ claims that the DDOS wasn't an issue. " There have also been reports that it was prompted by massive DDOS attacks. That too is inaccurate. There were indeed large-scale DDOS attacks, but they were successfully defended against. " Of course, they're also claiming that the gubmint had nothing to do with the takedown, so salt to taste. Relatedly, Wikileaks is asking for mirrors: http://46.59.1.2/mass-mirror.html Of course, you can also help by seeding the relevant torrents. -=rsw
