White House Email Archive Has 3-Month Gap
Mother Jones Blog reports that a very convenient chunk of White House emails from the start of the Iraq War are missing completely:
The White House acknowledged in a court filing last night that it no longer has backup tapes of email from between March 1 and May 22, 2003, a period that includes the beginning of the Iraq war.
Meredith Fuchs from the National Security Archive comes to the logical conclusion of this dance of the missing emails:
“I honestly think they are just trying to run out the clock, and then it’s a huge mess. Maybe the court’s going to act quickly and we’ll get better preservation. That’s what we’ll hope for at this point.”
The Bush Administration legacy will be “hang on until we’re out of office and scandals can’t hurt us.”
