Absurdity Theater: White House Says It Tossed Computer Hard Drives
An AP newswire article by Pete Yost, via WTOP.com, reports that:
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.More here.
The 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.
"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.

The current White House appears to be able to control the privacy of its information remarkably well. It seems to have no interest at all in providing a similar level of privacy to others in this country!
