White House Must Answer For Missing Emails

Lucas123 writes "A District Court judge this week ruled in favor of a Washington-based watchdog group, allowing them to question White House officials about missing emails involving controversial issues. The subjects include the release of the identity of a former CIA operative, the reasons for launching the war in Iraq and actions by the US Department of Justice. The group had filed suit [PDF] last May against the White House Office of Administration, seeking access to White House email under the federal Freedom of Information Act. The discovery ruling is bringing to light issues of email retention in businesses and other private organizations. We've previously discussed the White House's difficulties with email."

(I am particularly upset about the ridiculousness of the Republican walkout today. You're lucky I didn't pull a Howard Dean. Should have just gone to bed.)

I don't think overrated makes it to metamoderation. I metamoderate at least six times a week, and I've never seen it. I think that is why it is used. It is the moderator's way of saying, "WoW! That is an excellent point and a well formed argument. It is so good that, even though it goes against my biased viewpoints, I can not refute it. All I can do is mod it down. I have to use the overrated downmod because if I use anything else, a metamoderator will surely meta-mod it "unfair""
