Watchdog ups number of lost White House e-mails to 10M
CREW: White House lost at least 10 million e-mails
Nick Juliano
Published: Monday December 3, 2007

Doubles previous estimate of extent of communications improperly deleted
They could be anything from spam offering male enhancement to furtive exchanges of political strategy with convicted lobbyists, but observers say the White House deleted more than twice as many e-mails as previous estimates, bringing the total number of missing communications involving administration aides like Karl Rove and others to higher than 10 million.

Anne Weismann, the top lawyer for a watchdog group suing the White House, said sources close to Congressional and private investigations doubled previous estimates of the number of deleted e-mails.

"I will tell you, by the way, that it's way higher than five million," Weismann, chief counsel for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington told ChannelWeb. "It's more than 10 million."

CREW and another open-government watchdog, the National Security Archive, have joined forces to force the government to restore the millions of e-mails that were improperly deleted.

2. at over 5 million purged...
there is no other word for it than document shredding.

Why are we putting up with this again? "National Unity" against the "terrorists"?

4. That would explain AT&T's expectation of immunity.
No wonder Darth's having issues with his artificial heart and KKKarl is spinning bullshit on the MSM.
