Since some time after the Department of Commerce issued the recent press release on Wassenaar the site (www.doc.gov) has not been accessible, at least not from here. The press release section of the International Trade Administration (www.ita.doc.gov), David Aaron's org, for a while had a notice that updating was being done and the site would be fixed shortly. Then the ITA site disappeared, along with the main DoC site. We spoke with a public affairs rep at DoC before this happened and to inquire when the department would issue detailed information to flesh out the press release. I said there was a furor over Aaron's spin, and much skepticism of its validity. She said she would check and call back but hasn't. Wonder if the site was hacked, from the outside or inside.
