The White House wants us to believe they lost a bunch of significant emails, as many as FIVE MILLION! This is carrying surreality far beyond anywhere it has gone before. I don't know much about computers but I don't think it is even possible to LOSE an email. You might well try to destroy one (and probably won't succeed entirely) but you can't just lose one, not in this technological world. As this is pretty much common knowledge it makes you wonder why they would make such an outrageous claim in the first place. Patrick Leahy is right. They aren't lost. They just don't want to produce them. Why not? Guess.
Of course focusing too narrowly on the presumed loss might well make you forget that what they were doing in many cases was probably illegal to begin with. That is, instead of using the normal White House system they were using the RNC system. Why would they do this? Could it have been to avoid the public record that is supposed to be provided for all such White House correspondence? Naw, they wouldn't do anything like that. It would be illegal and underhanded. Rove and the White House would never do something like that, would they? It has been suggested that Rove himself may have attempted to destroy emails. He claims he thought they were all being preserved (hahahahaha).
The strange and frustrating thing about this administration and its multiple scandals is that there seems to be no last straw. Scandals pile on one another so fast that no one of them seems to be the one to bring them down. You do have to admire them for Chutzpah far beyond the ordinary. Would anyone have believed that an administration would actually claim to have lost five million emails? This is "the dog ate my homework" multiplied by the number of light years it would take to reach the outer limits of space. I suspect this may have been deliberately concocted to cause Leahy and Waxman to have heart attacks and thus relieve some of the pressure these crooks are beginning to feel for the first time.
Just think, if the Democrats had not squeaked by and won the right to supoena people many of us would probably already be in the concentration camps Bush/Cheney have been building over the past few years. Why they have not been impeached (or worse) is beyond my comprehension. I don't think we can wait until 2008 to get rid of them. Where is the Lone Ranger when you really need him?

Actually, you can't really reach the end of space; modern cosmology says that space is curved, and has no "edge".
While Sen. Leahy was being a little simplistic in thinking that it's really easy to recover deleted E-mails, it might still be done. Nonetheless, the Administration is one again demonstrating their incompetence in not using and retaining E-mails as required.
Oh, and where are those "concentration camps" being built? And why weren't you put in them before the election? Is it maybe because the Bush administration isn't really evil, and is just incompetent? (I'm sure you'll try to bring up the KBR contingency contract, but it hasn't been activated. Sorry to bring facts up in response to your hyperbole.)
