ChiefMonkeyGrinder writes "Amazon has denied reports that its European sites were brought down by a DoS attack by a hacker group sympathetic to Wikileaks cause. The retailer was a planned target for the attackers, called Anonymous. But Amazon said it was a hardware failure in its European data centre network that caused the half hour outage in Europe."

I agree, back in 1776 a bunch of evil weasels took over the colonies and look at what happened. a lot of innocent British soldiers sent over to protect the citizens died!
On their first terrorist attack, they cowardly disguised themselves to put the blame on innocent Native Americans. If they had succeeded, they could have caused an Indian massacre by the British.
