- breadfred, on 04/27/2008, -0/+27Anyone who believes there was no backup needs their head examined. Standard backup procedures for any organization include off-site backup and a second backup. Certainly for mission-critical and law-enforced data retention information. Heck, I would be surprised if there were not at least 3 different backup-sites.
It is time for those white house-folk to take some responsibilities for their actions: let's see those emails! - Pg5of16, on 04/27/2008, -0/+16Just another example of the Bush political machine trying to keep secrets from the American people.
- Scopitone, on 04/27/2008, -0/+13The only way we'll ever see those emails is if a patriotic whistle blower steps forward with the data on hand, not from some heroic judge throwing paper and "laws" at them.
- Malacandra95, on 04/27/2008, -0/+10Part of the job of the President is to obey the law, uphold the Constitution, and be accountable to the American people. Laws regarding the preservation of documents, memos and communications within the executive branch are part of the rules necessary to maintaining a free society. The circumvention of those rules demonstrates contempt for the American people and their right to know how their tax money is being used.
- p0tent1al, on 04/27/2008, -0/+9there probably was a backup, but that backup has probably been destroyed by now.
- gnat74, on 04/27/2008, -0/+8Look what happened to the whistle blower in CHG that came forward with the mayor's emails that were "lost" they charged her with tampering with a city computer and steeling files!!! These elected officials REP OR DEM live in their own world and say ***** the rest of us!!
- insanebrain, on 04/27/2008, -0/+8He is doing his job. . America is almost destroyed. Mission accomplished.
- inactive, on 04/27/2008, -0/+7If this was a fortune 500 company in legal hot water "Uhhh...we lost it" would be treated much differently, I believe
- threemagic, on 04/27/2008, -0/+6Apparently no one has ever paid attention to the kinds of people that get hired in IT by the government. I wouldn't be surprised to find out it hasn't been working, no on checked on it, all because they were too busy playing WoW during work hours.
- Hincapie, on 04/27/2008, -0/+6when all is said and done with the bush administration i wonder what we'll find out went on?
- PacketScan, on 04/27/2008, -0/+6Anyone else look at this from a tech perspective and see this as a false hood? If i lost backups I'd be fired.. well I'd fire myself.. cause you DON'T LOOSE DATA EVER...
When you do loose data you look suspicious. - an0nymous, on 04/27/2008, -0/+6Freaking GW! Why doesn't he just comply with the law and get back to work?
- averagejoesgym, on 04/28/2008, -0/+6I really get depressed when people try to diminish how corrupt the Bush administration has been by saying things like, "All politicians lie, etc..." All politicians don't kill 4,000 American soldiers and wound many times more for an imperialistic, oil-centric war, all politicians don't use Orwell's "1984" as their strategic guidebook, all politicians don't openly and arrogantly wipe their asses with the US constitution, all politicians don't have loyalty oaths and hire only under-qualified cronies, all politicians don't try to strip away fundamental rights to due process and a right to privacy, all politicians don't make the wealthiest 10%'s income double in eight years while the bottom 50%'s actually decreases, and finally, last but not least, all politicians don't blatantly let fellow countrymen who happen to be the wrong color suffer needlessly when a natural disaster makes them need the government most.
- phunlee, on 04/27/2008, -0/+5This was sarcasm, right?
- charlietuna, on 04/27/2008, -0/+5So only PC World is reporting this!? Damn press - Colbert is right, they only rewrite the press releases. There is far too little investigative journalism.
- jab9990, on 04/27/2008, -0/+5Bush is terrified that there is evidence of his crimes left around somewhere that he doesn't know about. This terror of being caught and held accountable is causing his extreme guilty demeanor, of desperately trying to hide everything he can, whenever he has a chance to do so. And he is right to be afraid, because like every criminal, he is about to find out that committing crimes is easy, it's getting away with them that is almost impossible.
- Loonacy, on 04/27/2008, -0/+5Maybe you should tighten that data.
- inactive, on 04/27/2008, -0/+4Not stupid, illegal as in jail time.
(see Sarbanes-Oxley, among other acts) - InorganicMatter, on 04/27/2008, -4/+8Everyone knows they were "accidentally" lost. Do we really need a federal judge to clarify it?
- mOdQuArK, on 04/27/2008, -0/+4Accidentally, hell. If they haven't made absolutely beyond-all-doubt sure that those damn emails were lost, then somebody's head is going to roll!
- Arcueid01, on 04/27/2008, -1/+5This ***** was never accidentally lost. It was conveniently and intentionally lost. Bush is covering up his crimes.
- kiwiboyus, on 04/27/2008, -0/+3Throw the crooks in jail.
- inactive, on 04/27/2008, -1/+4Heh...and this is different than all the other times they've ignored orders from a judge in what way? This administration is in no way bound by the rule of law. It's becoming almost amusing in a sad and tragic way.
- normlsparky, on 04/28/2008, -0/+3why doesn't bush just write up another executive order to cover his ass? it wouldn't be the first time. maybe he should just issue one broad based statement declaring that no law anywhere, at any time, applies to him- EVER. and what the hell, make it retroactive back to the 1st day of his presidency. it would save him alot of time.
- dgendreau, on 04/27/2008, -0/+3Whats wrong with the word Bastard? Dont mince words. You thought it and communicated it, so why not actually say it? Are you like six years old or something?
- Dweller99, on 04/27/2008, -0/+3Yes, we get it. If the source does not praise your hero then it (pick one - sucks, is biased, garbage, crap, spam, MSM, liberal).
- PabloMac, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2So, by claiming they don't have backups, they are admitting to being stupid.
- inactive, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2thanks ORBAT
1) Gay male prostitute posed as reporter and regularly went to white house press briefings
2) documents show that same guy spent several nights at white house when no other press was there - charlietuna, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2Google "Image Masster RoadMasster"
- Dweller99, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2I like to think so, but around here? nothing surprises me anymore.
- leapa, on 04/27/2008, -2/+4Bush and fellow cronies should be charged for tampering with evidence. Oh and while we're on the subject - how about treason and all the other criminal acts that violate our constitution.
- inactive, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2yeah, and I want to make a pun on the word "exchange" but cannot think of any (just woke up)
- Surferess, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2Perhaps one of the many countries that is spying on us has back up copies we can borrow?
- theOster, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2more to the point...the EoP uses PSTs??! LOL
- Surferess, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2I believe that has already been done. It was some secret meeting pre 9/11.
- inactive, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2In Soviet Russia, e-mail resolves White House
- happyhead7, on 04/27/2008, -1/+3Why are the democrats so ***** to go after the Bush Administration? Do yo uthink the Republicans are going to be so nice and passive when Obama or Hillary is in the Oval Office?
- BlacklabelSAR, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2If our "Leaders" are who our children emulate, we will have a (another) generation of sociopaths.
- breadfred, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2Isn't making proper recoverable backups mandatory?
- TrevaLVF, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2People that attempt to dismiss any corruption and tyranny practiced by politicians are apathetic. They also bear part of the responsibility for what is wrong with this country and our government because their attitude is the equivalent of consent.
- AngryFox, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2Sad, but likely true.
- PabloMac, on 04/27/2008, -2/+3Don't generalize. I know some federal agencies who hire IT people who act like rabid dogs, actively seeking security violations, making many enemies along the way, I might add. Don't ask how I know this.
- MacBookForMe, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1not one, there are at least 7
- oldgal, on 04/27/2008, -1/+2never underestimate the incompetency of this administration
- ORBAT, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1tl;dr
- Meep3D, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1That makes no sense.
- an0nymous, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1"In addition, he recommended that White House employees be ordered to turn over any flash drives or other portable media that may contain e-mails sent or received between the dates in question."
So, how much porn do you think they would find?
If I am not mistaken the first step of forensic data recory is to do a md5 hash and copy the entire disk. Wow, I would like to be one of the investigators. That would be fascinating. - an0nymous, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1that. is. AWESOME.
Thanks for the suggestion. I was aware of the Disk Jockey Pro and the Talon, but that roadmasster thing is sick. - inactive, on 04/28/2008, -1/+2So I lost it is good enough for mr bush it should be good enough for the rest of us. My taxes oh I must have lost them!
- MacBookForMe, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1obviously not, because nobody enforces that
