In order to conduct an "Admistrative Review" the White House took its web server offline and also closed off all e-mail to and from the outside world. This comes after what HNN believes to be a successful crack of the www1. server at 8:50am EST Monday morning. This crack was _not_ related to other recent .gov/.mil cracks nor was this crack strongly related to the Chinese embassy bombing or had any other political motives. Other mainstream news outlets are getting their stories confused. (If you only read one of these articles I recommend the one by Brock Meeks of MSNBC, it seems to be the most thorough.)
