Pojut writes "The Washington Post has a story up that the White House has acknowledged via a court filing that they recycled backup media containing emails up until October of 2003. From the article:

"The disclosure raises the possibility that the White House effectively erased e-mail related to some of the biggest controversies of the Bush administration, including the leak of a CIA officer's name, the start of the Iraq war and the CIA's destruction of interrogation videotapes."

$20,000 for a toilet seat isn't too expensive, but $1000 for some more backup media is?"

  • If this were a private citizen or corporation under investigation for fraud, insider trading, etc., then the FBI would be all over them with Obstruction and Tampering charges. The Martha Stewart case was a perfect example.

    So what's going to happen here? Nothing, despite this being the latest of a mountain of circumstantial evidence that points to widespread abuse of power and conflict of interest in the White House.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can make a fool of yourself anytime.
