    "WASHINGTON – Computer technicians have found 22 million missing White House e-mails from the administration of President George W. Bush..."

    Meredith Fuchs, general counsel to the National Security Archive, said "many poor choices were made during the Bush administration and there was little concern about the availability of e-mail records despite the fact that they were contending with regular subpoenas for records and had a legal obligation to preserve their records."

    Sloan said the latest count of misplaced e-mails "gives us confirmation that the Bush administration lied when they said no e-mails were missing."

    This can't be true! I thought the Bush-Cheney Administration were expert at tracking emails, like the millions they accessed from AT&T when spying on common everyday US citizens?

    Let Jesse Ventura waterboard Bush and Cheney on national television. It's not torture because Bush administration said it isn't torture.

    Well, it's too late to hang them based on the contents, but hopefully this might turn out to be more than just more nails in the legacy of the Bush admin.

    I see the Bush administration brought in Microsoft Corporation to help find the electronic messages in October 2003. Gee, you’d think they would have hired a reputable company.

    Now lets hope the government gets on this matter, right after they investigate, resolve and force the return the millions of dollars in campaign donations Obama received from Foreign entities, WHICH ARE QUITE ILLEGAL.

    You back on the Squirrel Trick again?

    In This Thread: GOP being retarded. Also, what has Microsoft done to be un-reputable?

    Do you mean to imply that if they brought in a more "reputable company," they would have discovered MORE than the 22 million missing emails?
