One of the blogosphere’s most important war bloggers and also one of the indispensable bloggers who exposed Ra^thergate, Charles Johnson, has been posting temporarily over at Discarded Lies because of a denial of service attack against his regular site, Little Green Footballs. Go visit him at Discarded Lies for his take on the Thornburgh/Boccardi report if you haven’t already.

(Thanks to Power Line, where Hindrocket has posted his must-read analysis of the report, for the heads-up.)

Last night, it seemed that LGF was back up and running. But this morning, the blog is still inaccessible to many readers.

Whoever is responsible for the attacks should be hunted down and punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Someone out there wants to shut down LGF and shut up Charles Johnson and his commenters–the best in the blogosphere. Johnson deserves whatever support, linkage, traffic, tip jar donations you can share when his site is back up. And thanks, Charles, for doing what you do and not backing down.

Update: 1pm EST. Looks like LGF is alive and kicking.
