Comments on: White House Official Tells Judge Searching for Missing Emails Too Much Work http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/03/white-house-official-tells-judge-searching-for-missing-emails-too-much-work/ a radical newsletter in the struggle for peace and social justice Sun, 06 Jul 2008 23:17:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Lloyd Rowsey http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/03/white-house-official-tells-judge-searching-for-missing-emails-too-much-work/#comment-16923 Lloyd Rowsey Tue, 25 Mar 2008 13:08:32 +0000 http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/03/white-house-official-tells-judge-searching-for-missing-emails-too-much-work/#comment-16923 This article interests me very much. But it is confusing and any attorney would be embarrassed to call it a "Brief". To take just the first example, Jason Leopold writes: "That line of reasoning appears contradictory on several fronts. First, an internal investigation undertaken by officials in Payton’s office concluded that computer experts could not locate a single email from the office of Vice President Dick Cheney between September 30, 2003 and October 6, 2003—the week when the Department of Justice launched an investigation into the Plame Wilson leak and set a deadline for administration officials to turn over documents and emails to federal investigators that contained any reference to her or her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson." But there's no "Second". Instead of a Second, the narrative resumes. BTB, "Additionally" is not a "Second". This article interests me very much.

No such rule for itself exists however. The government can destroy records with impunity. Quick, tell AT&T to destroy their tapes too. I guess, in the immortal words of Dick Cheney, "So?" When is enough enough? Isn’t it funny how government agencies mandate certain industries such as finance to maintain records for years to be able to be in business.
