I followd the RIMM (Research In Motion) Blackberry story for several years. Things that made me think: (incidently i lost a lot of money shorting the stock) 1. RIMM server are maintained in Waterloo Canada which doesn't subject them to Domestic spying laws FISA court ect. 2. Govt Contract Gave Blackberries to thousands of US Govt employees. (even your buddy Greenspan's blackerry messages were prob monitored. It sure would have been fun to frontrun greenspan.) 3. RIMM appears to have or had ultimate control over what is deleted on Blackberry mail servers. 4. RIMM recently restated earnings going back (several years) and the CEO/head executive dude resigned recently. (that surely didn't surprise me.)

"I can't imagine that the RNC doesn't have AT LEAST a similar setup." Pretty standard procedure everywhere. Well, except maybe at major corporations. Their dogs seem to eat their emails all the time. Just look at the time when a company is ordered to keep emails, yet they seem to flutter off into the void... And the higher the level of the executive, the most likely it is to happen. And there is always some new hire who seems to bear the brunt of the responsibility. I can see the ad now. Wanted: scapegoat. We are under a court order, yet need to make some stuff to disappear. Easy working conditions, but only briefly. Pay is excellent when considered on a per hour basis...
