Trying To Find White House Missing E-mails
Gov IT writes "On Wednesday a federal court ordered all employees working in the Bush White House to surrender media that might contain e-mails sent or received during a two and a half year period in hope of locating missing messages before President-elect Barack Obama takes over next week."
In a vacuum, that could be believable.
Given his administration's penchant for secrecy and ass-covering, it's not.
Hail Eris, full of mischief...
E pluribus sanguinem
And he will probably never be held accountable for his unprecedented crimes, domestic and foreign. Nixon got away with his - and they were significant.
Meanwhile he just handed out little tiaras of encouragement - Medals of Freedom, an insult to every past and future recipient - to his two disgusting buddies in war crime: Johnny Howard of Australia and Tony Blair of the UK.
Meanwhile, the murder of innocents goes on, in the name of the US, using American made weapons, every day...
you had me at #!
Yeah. Like the Obama Clown is going to do anything about this. ;-)
Ok. Ok. I'll be serious. Obama has been just as good as Bush about hiding stuff. Like the Birth Certificate and medical records that are still not being released. I don't expect any more openness out of this president than the last.
Mike @ The Geek Pub. Let's Make Stuff!
Fucking bullshit.
Anyone with half a brain knew in 2002 that Bush was lying. Blix knew there were no WMD's. The UN knew there were none. But they were going into Iraq no matter what anyone else said.
If you were stupid enough to fall for the lies then, you should seriously consider suicide as an option now, to prevent the human race from being further contaminated by your idiocy.
"Remember when the U.S. had a drug problem, and then we declared a War On Drugs, and now you can't buy drugs anymore?"
...and clutching at straws. Fully agree with parent. This is the white house we are talking about. This is coming out of the US budget that can afford expensive military aricraft etc. and they can't afford the hardware and man power to stay on top of something like this? I don't think so. A quick look over our NAS shows files ten years old which would if I checked also exist on tape media in addition to disk. Oh and given the price of 500gb drives and NAS devices IT IS NOT EXPENSIVE TO KEEP LARGE AMOUNTS OF DATA AROUND. Case in point is the servers at work that store all the CCTV footage for a 1000+ employee department for a month. And we are talkikng cameras at all entrances and exits, to all building on all floors etc. the size of which would smash text based email communications. Again... your an idiot.
Users... the only thing keeping 1st level support from being the bottom feeders.
> I'm hoping Obama will be better on pretty much every front than Bush
Now there's a high bar.

This is my sig. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
