White House Says Hard Drives Were Destroyed
wanderindiana brings us an update on the White House missing emails mess, which we have discussed before. It seems the hard drives of many White House computers are gone beyond the possibility of recovery. Is it unusual in your experience for, say, a corporate IT department to destroy hard drives by policy? "Older White House computer hard drives have been destroyed, the White House disclosed to a federal court Friday in a controversy over millions of possibly missing e-mails from 2003 to 2005. The White House revealed new information about how it handles its computers in an effort to persuade a federal magistrate it would be fruitless to undertake an e-mail recovery plan that the court proposed."
These ppl KNEW that it was illegal, even back then. And yet they did it. Every IT person in the white house should have prison time along with the WH admin.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.

Really? You have a "right" to know the Military GO Codes, etc?
This is planet earth. It doesn't work that way. It never has. It was never intended.
I would be willing to bet you came down on exactly the opposite side of the issue of people "snooping" into presidential candidate's passport files. I bet you thought that was a gross injustice.
You really can't have it both ways.
