Judge Demands Information About Missing White House Emails

Posted by Soulskill on from the time-to-come-clean dept.

Lucas123 writes "A District Court judge has ordered the Executive Office of the President to tell the court by May 5 whether any e-mail server backup tapes were kept for a period from March to October 2003 to cover controversial issues such as reasons for starting the war in Iraq, the release of a former CIA operative's name and the US Department of Justice's actions. The White House has been working for months trying to fend off a lawsuit filed last May in federal court in Washington by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics. The judge cited what he called an apparent contradiction by White House CIO Theresa Payton as to whether backup tapes had been preserved. He also recommended that White House employees be ordered to turn over any flash drives or other portable media that may contain e-mails. The White House missing email scandal has been developing for some time now."

    God dammit, isn't there any forum that you 9/11 Denier lunatics won't pollute with your idiotic spam? Yes, the September 11th attacks were coordinated at a cost of millions of dollars, causing billions in direct damage, killing thousands of people, and probably causing trillions in indirect long-term damage by harming the economy and the national psyche, all so that a few people could make a few million dollars on the stock market. Meanwhile, the CIA demolished a $700,000,000 building so that they could destroy records. Apparently they never heard of a paper-shredder. Or a "delete" key.

    What I want to know is who the fuck put Dr. Evil in charge of this operation?

    Also, what idiots modded you up? I mean, I suppose that your comment is "interesting" in the same way that a wheelchair hurdle race would be "interesting", but c'mon, that's hardly what that mod category is meant for.
