If You Are In Amsterdam...Could You Help?

This in from AMERICAblog.

Folks, we have someone launching an electronic attack on the blog, which is very likely a crime. I'd like your help.

I'd appreciate any tech folks and political folks who can help me put pressure on the RIPE NCC folks in Amsterdam, they pretty much control all the blocks of IPs the attacker is using. RIPE Network Coordination Centre is the administrative and technical coordinator for the ISPs and other networks in the region from which this attack is very likely originating. They need to be told what's going on through IPs in their blocks. I'm told they're going to act like it's not their problem. Feel free to let them know it will be their problem as soon as I talk to the FBI. [emphasis mine]

In addition to gumming up the works with a flood of duplicate comments, this activity eats up bandwidth and interferes with other commenters. If you can help John, please do.
