German Wikileaks Suspension Not Related To Police Raid
An anonymous reader writes "Contrary to what we discussed four days ago, Germany's registration authority, DeNIC, did not suspend access to wikileaks.de. After some investigation, Heise found out that the ISP ended the contract (in German, Babelfish translation) with Theodor Reppe back in December 2008, with the mandatory three-month notice giving him enough time to move wikileaks.de elsewhere — which he did not do. At the end of March, the domain wikileaks.de was released back to DeNIC."
This is it, at its finest.
How we know is more important than what we know.
Hanlon's Razor sounds like it should be renamed to "The GWB Principle"
Heading up an administration that achieved every goal that the top level members of had publicly advocated for over and over for a decade is incompetence?
Reopened war and regime change in Iraq? Check.
Hobbling the US federal government by drowning it in debt? Check.
Funneling astronomical amounts of public cash into their personal associates Corporations and by extension their own bank accounts? Check.
And to top it off, in the last months of presidency, presiding over the greatest plundering of a treasury in the history of the world...Check.
Yes, what a bunch of incompetents, incompetently sitting on their mountains of cash, untouchable by any law after having changed the course of history as they saw fit. Exactly as they said in the 1990s that they were going to do once they got back into power.
I wish I was that incompetent.

Or is it more 'Any sufficiently advanced malice is indistinguishable from incompetence.'
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity...
In this case: Don't attribute to someone else's malice that which can be adequately explained by your own stupidity.
