CentOS Accused of Hacking Website

Hilarious. The idiocy of bureaucrats in action, sadly not limited to government.
The most unfortunate part of this type of thing is that the *people* of the city elect these fools, or those who appoint them.
Naturally this had nothing to with CentOS (which I use myself). Of course, in typical politician fashion, the last response is "I'm sorry for the unfortunate incident" rather than "I apologize, I was wrong". Shift the blame anywhere rather than accept it. This guy's a parody of a politician.

And... The extra publicity managed to (hopefully temporarily) take the CentOS website down. Damage accomplished. Maybe the FBI launched a DOS attack? Rumours, conjecture... You can't get any better free publicity!!
