Are the concepts of right & wrong, absolutes or only relative? Where will the line be drawn between security and big brother, and will it be the same line for all? If it is correct that the government have full unlimited access, without warrant, to our private electronic papers & communications of this brave new world, then why(and would the common person be allowed "glitches"?):

Report: White House Hid Subpoenaed E-Mail
By Susan Jones
CNS Morning Editor
15 February, 2000

(CNSNews.com) - A woman who once managed computer operations for the White House says Clinton administration officials hid thousands of e-mails that were subpoenaed by a federal grand jury and three congressional committees.

According to a report in Tuesday's Washington Times, those e-mails contain information on Filegate, Chinagate, campaign finance abuses, and Monica Lewinsky.

The newspaper quotes Sheryl Hall as saying that the White House did conduct a computer search for the subpoenaed documents. But, said Hall, a computer glitch prevented thousands of requested documents from turning up.

Computer contract workers told White House staffers about the server problem that caused the incomplete document search, but Hall says those staffers simply covered up the fact that as many as 100,000 e-mails had not been surrendered.

Instead of handing over the subpoenaed documents, Hall said White House officials labeled the e-mails "classified" to prevent their release.(cont)
