I think its a DOJ's doing. They prolly want to show the courts how bad hackers can get so they can conjure up some support in forthcomming trials. C'mon the sysadmins aren't fools, they surely see their own site.

this is a very highly possible conclusion... and I wouldn't go against it. I the traditional since.. r00ts know there shit... and if the operator(s) of DOJ didn't know how firewall down the country's own Justice web page.. then we have some serious measures to be taken on lack of education in there part.. and furthermore they would have portrayed it as lack of security there and point the theoretical finger at the site admin.. but no, it didn't happen. folks, I think its a scam... not only for these reasons... but just look at the material that was altered... I am sorry.. but speaking from some exp. here... if I had access to some place like that.. I wouldn't have bothered de-facing what the public sees... I would rather have gone to a more effective means of sabotage.. to the root of the system.. to data storage and records.. the real hackers out there are the ones who don't make themselves known.
