WASHINGTON – Computer technicians have found 22 million missing White House e-mails from the administration of President George W. Bush and the Obama administration is searching for dozens more days' worth of potentially lost e-mail from the Bush years, according to two groups that filed suit over the failure by the Bush White House to install an electronic record keeping system.

The two private groups — Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and the National Security Archive — said Monday they were settling the lawsuits they filed against the Executive Office of the President in 2007.

1. I'm guessing they've been erased.

Must be hard to cross the Oval Office with such a lumpy rug.

2. I hope President Obama and his administration have them well protected

I do not put anything past those NeoCons.

3. Technicians are pulling data from backup tapes

It's a lot harder than you'd think to "lose" data that's been archived to tape. The tapes pretty much have to be destroyed. And even the last Administration couldn't think of a justification for that. I think they figured that they'd be able to lock it up in court.
