US judge pulls the plug on the internet

A Washington Post article gives an update on court action over US government failure to properly deal with American Aborigines’ trust funds:

Responding to a court order, the Interior Department has cut itself off from the Internet, crippling the ability of Interior employees to communicate by e-mail and blocking access to information gathered by the department that is routinely used by other agencies and the public.

The plaintiffs in the case have their own website.
