\nRemember when an 18\u00c2\u00bd minute gap in an audio tape was enough to bring down a President? Those were the days.
\n
\nBut that was then, this is now…
\n
\nWASHINGTON — Older White House computer hard drives have been destroyed, the White House disclosed to a federal court Friday in a controversy over millions of possibly missing e-mails from 2003 to 2005.
\n
\nThe White House revealed new information about how it handles its computers in an effort to persuade a federal magistrate it would be fruitless to undertake an e-mail recovery plan that the court proposed.
\n
\n“When workstations are at the end of their lifecycle and retired … the hard drives are generally sent offsite to another government entity for physical destruction,” the White House said in a sworn declaration filed with U.S. Magistrate Judge John Facciola.
\n
\nIt has been the goal of a White House Office of Administration “refresh program” to replace one-third of its workstations every year in the Executive Office of the President, according to the declaration.
\n
\nSome, but not necessarily all, of the data on old hard drives is moved to new computer hard drives, the declaration added.
\n
\nWe suspect this may call for some more sternly worded letters from Democrats!
\n
\nOr, if they really want to go whole hog, they can follow in the courageous steps of Walter Mondale on Monday, who offered “blistering” comments about how Bush and Cheney have broken the law…followed by his explanation as to why they shouldn’t be impeached for having done so.
