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."

    So, even if Bush is as bad as you say he is, he's doing it to enrich his family and his cronies while plundering as much money as possible from the treasury and grabbing as much power as possible.
    There, fixed that for you. If you think Bush is doing all that he is doing to protect the country, you are truly a deluded moron.

    Everybody knows who outed Valerie Plame Wilson.

    Valerie Plame Wilson outed Valerie Plame Wilson.

    She cannot make a hugely public move, sending her husband to Niger, and then hide behind some imagined secret protection.

    The Wilsons should be shot.
