Salon Hyde Expos‚ Spurs Death Threats, Hacks nytimes.com

Oops, I just missed the edit window closing on this additional followon.

Salon wrote Wednesday that Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.), who chairs the committee that will decide whether the full House should vote on Clinton's impeachment, had his own affair in the late 1960s. The publication documented the story carefully, putting together photos and interviews with several people close to Hyde and the woman's family. Editors received a statement from Hyde admitting the affair just minutes before the story went live.

Already Talbot has received death threats as a result of his article. Threats have been issued against other top editors. Their fax machine was shut down by a series of "black faxes" -- a tactic in which the sender repeatedly faxes an all-black piece of paper in a deliberate attempt to break the recipient's machine. The magazine stopped accepting incoming e-mail Thursday morning after an avalanche of hate mail and spam clogged their servers.

"We haven't even read most of the hate mail," said Andrew Leonard, the magazine's senior technology writer. "It's not even getting through."

I'm sure many will explain how this little escapade is all the work of brave patriots only concerned for the good of our country, just like the whole Ken Starr operation. Sounds a bit Orwellian to me, but I'm warped. For a supposedly Christian Nation, there seems to be plenty of sinless stone throwers on the allegedly "Christian" side.

Cheers, Dan.
