"The White House has announced a settlement in a lawsuit filed by two good-government groups concerning emails that went missing over a two-and-a-half year period during the Bush administration. Under the terms of the deal, 94 days of emails -- which could shed light on controversial topics that the Bush administration sought to obscure from public view, such as the Valerie Plame scandal and the run-up to the war in Iraq -- will be transferred to the National Archives, and eventually made public." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

"Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and the National Security Archive (NSA) sued in 2007, after it was revealed that the Bush White House had discovered in 2005 that the emails were missing, but had failed to restore them, and had knowingly continued to use a broken system for preserving electronic records." - Steven Perez

Oh, my! I thought those e-mails didn't exist! [/sarcasm] - Steven Perez

They should do the Nixon tapes while they're at it! :P - Lo the Baker

Yeah, I can't wait to hear the wingnuts start yammering about how national security will be endangered if anyone reads these private messages. Unlike those dirty climate change scientists, who need to publish every e-mail they send out. - Steven Perez

I sure hope they uncover some thread revealing Joe Lieberman was sleeping with his chauffeur's doberman or sumthin good and damnable... - Thom Kennon
