White House e-mails like WMD
No, I don't mean they are in Syria, but they are proving very difficult to find.
The Bush administration has not found disaster recovery files for White House e-mails from a three-month time period in 2003, according to court documents filed this week, raising the possibility that messages sent before and after the invasion of Iraq may never be recovered.That should make any war crimes trial harder to prove, but not yet impossible. And it is possible that a responsible government might find more. Which is another good reason not to vote for the Old Fart.
The White House chief information officer, Theresa Payton, said in a sworn declaration that the White House has identified more than 400 computer backup tapes from March through September of 2003 but that the earliest recorded file was dated May 23 of that year.
That period was one of the most crucial of the Bush presidency. The United States launched the invasion of Iraq on March 20, 2003, and President Bush declared the end of major combat operations on May 1.
