"But what's the ROI, and why is even the existence of these deleted e-mails newsworthy?"

Because the Bush administration claimed they were accidentally deleted and there was no way to recover them. That, in and of itself is newsworthy doncha think?

"No I didn't, but once they're available, current search technology should make it (relatively) easy to go through the enormous amount of data."

Ten, are you truly stupid? All of those emails have to be judged as to whether they contain information critical to national security before they can be released - for the next FIFTY years. Can Google do that? Make judgments of that nature?

I don't think so. So, don't panic - Bush's unknown dirt probably won't be aired until he's dead. Their goal was NEVER, but, competence was required..

Can somebody tell me why e-mails should be available to anyone outside of the sender and receiver(s)? Why are they not just as private as a phone conversation or a private meeting?
