OMG, maybe I get it--Why 5 million emails created & erased?

In order to cover his tracks in a kludgy, clumsy sort of way:

�If you keep sending e-mails, it will probably get overwritten pretty quickly, and then it�s really gone,� he said.

2. Maybe they should try Major Geeks!

"NTFS Undelete is free software that allows you to recover deleted files. It recovers files directly from hard drive, and it will work even if you empty Recycle Bin.

Before downloading NTFS Undelete, please consider the following:
When you delete a file, its content physically remains intact on the media, but the occupied space becomes marked as free. Next file saved to the disk may overwrite the contents of the deleted file.

It is very important to make sure that no application writes to the drive or partition where deleted file is located since every new file (even a small one) may overwrite the deleted file."

4. It's been over a year for all, over two years for some e-mail.

"It is very important to make sure that no application writes to the drive or partition where deleted file is located since every new file (even a small one) may overwrite the deleted file."

What are the chances that somebody's used the server since then?

6. This is just an example. The *really* good ones are on the main page

they have some that say they can recover any file, even from damaged drives.

9. I've seen data recovered from damaged drives.

I reconstructed a file allocation table once; that was one of the least pleasant (without being downright objectionable) tasks for a job I had long ago. Fortunately, the disk drive was all of 10 MB, and was only half full.

But I've never seen anything useful come from a disk drive that had been overwritten scores of times. If they're lucky, they'll find bits on backups from the RNC/WH servers, or the backups from the most likely servers that outgoing or incoming e-mail would have been routed to.

5. doesn't everybody think that they've already used the highest, NSA/combat standard

wiping devices on these computers, servers, etc?

and, as others have said, replaced, magged out, etc., every computer they suspect to be tainted with the enormity of their criminality?

they're going to have to TURN some humint

somebody's going to have to go to GITMO. these people are ENEMIES of the STATE, aren't they?

aren't they suspected of national security violations?

can't they be disappeared under PATRIOT II?

time for some national security letters. they can't have a LAWYER. they can't tell ANYBODY they're under investo

have you seen the librarians who beat the system on that? they had a compelling appearance on CSPAN last weekend

talk about chilling
