When we last left that episode the Lieberman camp was accusing Lamont of being behind it with absolutely no evidence whatsoever.
This is one of the latest articles I could find. I do believe that the final consensus was that the site had in fact been hacked ( I know there was lots of stuff being posted about it really being a case of technical incompetence on the part of Lieberman's techies, which no doubt played a part)

August 11, 2006
Associated Press With federal and state investigations under way into the crash of U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman's campaign Web site, the embattled three-term incumbent says his efforts to reach out nationally for political donations are being hindered.
"But of course that's the world we live in, that anybody anywhere in the world, if able to, can hack into another site anywhere else in the world," he said while visiting Waterbury on Thursday
(Comment - that's a little different from 3 days before, when on election day they were directly naming Lamont and his campaign as being involved)

Geary said the campaign is moving the site to another server and working on increasing security. He could not say when the site might be back online.

Geary acknowledged that he has no idea who hacked into the site.
Contrast that story to this one
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14245779/Tuesday's attack was the third in the past month, said Dan Geary, who runs Lieberman's site. But the earlier two attacks involved defacements — the hacker altered content on Lieberman's home page. This time, attackers toppled the Lieberman site with requests, probably by directing an army of hacked computers at the site.

Early in the day, Lieberman's campaign manager accused Lamont's office of orchestrating the cyberattack. Lamont quickly and emphatically denied any involvement.

"It could be a teen-ager in a dorm room in one of 30 countries," he said. Geary wasn't ready to accuse Lamont supporters for the attack, but he did say it was probably politically motivated.

"Is it some guy in Lamont headquarters? No," he said. "But was it an overzealous supporter? Maybe."
My summary: The Lieberman site was hacked, but it had been attacked previously - more than enough warning for Lieberman and his guys to be pro-active and security conscious. They tried to milk the hack for all it was worth and directly smeared the Lamont campaign without a shred of proof whatsoever - note Geary's comment about it could be a teenager in one of thirty countries.
I am waiting to hear the results of the investigation. I am also waiting for the apology from Lieberman to Lamont.
