White House E-Mails Missing
Remember all those e-mails that went missing at the White House? The Bush administration is hoping you don't. According to an internal memo leaked to the Associate Press (AP) the government is pushing forward with its recovery "effort" the only way it knows how -- completely half-assed.According to the memo, the White House is missing as much as 225 days worth of e-mail that just so happen to date from the time of the Valerie Plame leak and the Abu Ghraib scandal. The White House is theoretically taking bids from contractors to recover the e-mails, but has no expectation of the work being completed before April of 2009, after the current administration has left office.
According to contractors questioned by the AP, the memo doesn't appear to be a legitimate request for help in the recovery process. The memo says anywhere from 25-225 days of e-mails may be missing. The large discrepancy makes it hard to estimate the man power and time needed to tackle the project. Steve Schooner, co-director of the Government Procurement program at George Washington University said, "Generally, when the scope of the work is expected to fluctuate by a factor of nearly ten, I can only take you so seriously."

The White House isn't "dragging their feet" ... they're busier than a cat covering up doo-doo to avoid prosecution for destruction of presidential records. The entire Bush administration has shrouded itself in a cloak of secrecy in preparation of its crimes. Because Congress did not act when it could have, there will never be any accounting for all Bush's crimes, especially when he issues a blank pardon for all his partners in crime. The only hope to ever see them held accountable will be the international courts. It won't be done by the U.S. Our politicians are too afraid because of Cheney's dirty little deed with the anthrax that was mailed to the Democrats. Guess you can't blame them for being fearful for their lives. The international court will not be so "afraid".

It's time to move on and begin working, not digging up the past.
