The White House acknowledged yesterday that e-mails dealing with official government business may have been lost because they were improperly sent through private accounts intended to be used for political activities. Democrats have been seeking such missives as part of an investigation into the firing of eight U.S. attorneys.
Administration officials said they could offer no estimate of how many e-mails were lost but indicated that some may involve messages from White House senior adviser Karl Rove, whose role in the firings has been under scrutiny by congressional Democrats.

As an IT professional, you don’t know how ridiculous this “lost email” excuse sounds to our community. No way is IT staff for the White House that incompetent. This is more of the nonsense we’ve come to know and right-wingers come to deny during Bush’s tenure.
Given the history of so many sordid lies, oh forgive me, bad intelligence we’ve seen over the last 6 ˝ yrs, why would anyone be surprised? I’m sure all the neo-con demagogues on the hill and FOX News will once again run to defend this blatant nonsense and their parrots will be regurgitating their phrases once again here in these forums.
