The Hackers Lose; HUBRIS on Charlie Rose; and a Woodward Tease

The hackers have failed. A few days ago one or more miscreant tried to shut down this site by bombarding it with hundreds of thousands of comments (which caused us to suspend down the comments section). But the site survived the attack, and traffic has exploded, due to links to the waterboarding photos below. Dozens of sites linked to the images, and close to 100,000 people have come to this site to see what waterboarding actually looks like. That's rather gratifying.

Here's another Internet spot you might want to visit. Michael Isikoff and I were on The Charlie Rose Show last night discussing our new book, HUBRIS: THE INSIDE STORY OF SPIN, SCANDAL, AND THE SELLING OF THE IRAQ WAR. You can watch it here. We appear in the second segment of the show.

Another programming note: later today I expect to post an item about a revelation in Bob Woodward's new book. . Check back soon.
