Not All the DOJ Missing Emails Are Missing

Hylas sends us to Democracy Now for a newscast on the missing emails, an interview with investigative journalist Greg Palast. Here's Palast talking about the fired US attorney from New Mexico, David Iglesias: "Iglesias believes the real reasons for the firings are in what are called the missing emails, emails sent by the [White House political advisor Karl] Rove team using Republican Party campaign computers, which Rove claims can't be retrieved. But not all the missing emails are missing. We have 500 of them. Apparently the Rove team misaddressed their emails, and late one night they all ended up in our inboxes in our offices in New York City." This story has had zero play in the US media; it's been being carried on the BBC.

    Because it involves e-mails. Slashdot covers news involving technology, e-mails are technology.

    Somebody should mod parent as informative! There's a funny bumper sticker on a Mercedes I see in our town now and then: "I never thought I'd miss Nixon" How true....

    The simple answer is that the Republicans are far more competent than the Democrats when it comes to election fraud.

    For one: You might as well have linked to any DailyKOS page saying the Jews did WTC. Seriously. Democracy Now thinks so also.
    Secondly: I expect much better from my "geek news site". This article is flat out crap. Are the editors paying attention or did they just let their personal biases get the better of them to the detriment of the website?

    I've seen a better bumper sticker, IMHO: "Save the environment: Plant a Bush back in Texas"

    Seems about right to me.
