>Z, let me it put it this way. What is in those 22 million e-mails that is so newsworthy, other than they exist and will be up for public scrutiny shortly?

Crap... I fell behind again but just started a three week vacation, so I should be able to catch up and stay caught up for a bit.

I don't usually like to play Tim Fowler and respond to old posts, but I saw CJ didn't respond to this satisfactorily, so here goes...

Back during one of the Bush admin scandals -- I think it was the US Attorney purge but maybe the Plame scandal -- the special prosecutor (or was it Congress?) tried to get his hands on the White House e-mails from the relevant period, and was told that they were all "accidentally" irretrievable deleted. I remember that we on this thread discussed whether or not that was even possible, and I took the position that a good techie could recover those e-mails.

Well, those were the e-mails that were recovered...

Unfortunately, in the ten days since you made your post, the media decided not to pay attention to the story and it's over. It actually got much less attention in the press than the silly climate e-mail thing.
