Found: Missing Presidential Emails

Not surprisingly, looks like some IT guys were able to dig up the Bush administration's missing emails. Odd isn't it it that it took almost an year... Perhaps someone went to great lengths to try to destroy them? In any case, here are some choice quotes from the article:

Court records have shown that the Bush administration knew about the e-mail problems as far back as 2005 and did nothing to fix them, Sloan said.

"They never made an effort to restore them," she said.

But Scott Stanzel, a former deputy press secretary in the Bush White House, said the group "has consistently tried to create a spooky conspiracy out of standard IT issues."

"We always indicated that there is an e-mail archiving system and a disaster recovery system," Stanzel said. "We also indicated that e-mails not properly archived could be found on disaster recovery tapes. There is a big, big difference between something not being properly archived and it being 'lost' or 'missing,' as CREW would say."
