		<description>No one destroys hard drives without removing ALL the files first.  No one.  This is just more disregard of any laws or rules by this Administration.  The fact that they publish this as their excuse proves they think we are all idiots.  Since none of our representatives DO anything about these scams against this Country and it&#039;s citizens, the lies and corruption just continue on without check.  Bush &amp; Co are the actors in this farce but our Senators are allowing it.....</description>

		<description>The Bush WAR CRIMINALS are TRAITORS to the USA.

PLUS Bush and Cheney have committed GENOCIDE.

When their time comes, and they get sent to hell, what do you think Bush&#039;s new MASTER Satan will do?</description>

		<description>This boggles the mind. Retention legal requirements state how long data is to be stored. Why have no heads rolled for wanton disregard of the law. E-mail was not destroyed during the Clinton administration. Nothing in the law changed. Only the politics changed and that must be punished.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;DreamCrusher Says: 
March 23rd, 2008 at 4:49 pm 
Fred,

What is the “Bush formula”? What did I say that was an “arrogant unsubstantiated statement”? You’re going to flag me every time you see me, simply because I have a different viewpoint than you? Wow, how… intolerant.

You people seem to live in a parallel world, in your own cult, with your own speech codes and language. Freaking scary if you ask me.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You want me to show you the error of your ways for you?  I am tired of defending myself agianst self-rightous apologists for this administration and your complicit behavior.  You prove something for a change.

here&#039;s the thing:




&lt;blockquote&gt;The burden of proof isn’t on those of us who want out of Iraq.  We’re the ones who were right at the beginning, are still right today and have been right at every point in between.  The burden of proof is with those of you, dwindling though your ranks may be, who are still part of the war party.  It’s your burden to prove that staying in Iraq is likely to produce some sort of good, some improvement in the current nightmare, sufficiently great to justify the expenditure of even more precious American blood and treasure.

And as of this moment, you haven’t even come close. &lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

Gee, Cream Cruiser, you didn’t try to refute what I said…&lt;/blockquote&gt;


He cherry picks what he responds to....and then he uses the bush formula.

		<description>DreamCrusher
This guy is a professional bush apologist.  He will rationalize anything that bush does.  

this is his excuse for everything:
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;when it may very well be the result of incompetence, a mistake, or bad luck.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Judging by how many things they have messeed up and gotten wrong, dreamcrusher must think they are really stupid, really incompetent, or really unlucky.  Probably the most stupid, incompetent and unlucky people to ever be in charge of anything in the history of mankind, and he still supports them.  Wonder why he would think we care what he thinks.</description>

		<description>Yes, because you’ve never ever lost any of the documents you’ve had on your computer. Never. No company has ever lost any data on their computer systems. Ever.

Nope. The White House is the global epicenter of data storage and protection technology and research, so obviously an IT glitch could never, ever, happen there.

I do believe Occam’s Razor and Hanlon’s Razor will do just fine.
================================================================
Ah, the troll is spewing its lieing bull$#!+ for all to see.   Let&#039;s address this.

E-Mails are stored within a Lotus or Microsoft server, on an array that is at least RAID-5 redundant, if not RAID-6.   To lose data from these drives, 2 drives out of 3 must fail.   This is before Server clustering, which backs up the contents of one server on multiple other servers.  But wait!   It gets even better.  ANY backup plan in existance requires data to be backed up at least twice onsite and once off-site.   

&#039;IT mixup&#039;?  No, an IT mixup is realizing that your off-site backup disappeared in transit, with important information contained on it in encrypted form.    This requires a series of events that boggles any trained IT professional&#039;s mind.

1)  The simultaneous failure of multiple hard drives, from 2 for a small business firm to literally hundreds in a SAN array for something the size of government.

2)  The also simultaneous failure of additional drives from any and all mirroring servers.

3)  The failure of all workstations that contained the e-mail downloaded from the server.

4)  The disappearance of all the tapes.

Dreamcrusher, you lie like a rug, in a transparent attempt to convince people who are not as familiar with computer technology believe that it&#039;s as easy for a governmental agency to lose data as it is for a home user.

I am here to state for the record that a typical governmental agency, such as the USGS Energy Team, maintains a setup that would survive the destruction of the Federal Center.   Your words that this is as simple to have happen as losing data from a home computer, DreamCrusher, are lies.</description>

		<description>May I commend Bogtrotters on a great summary.  It used to be hard to believe.  Now, the tap dancing simple president who lives and dies by trickledown has ponied-up for his big buddies on wall street.  Hey good news though we are gonna get a 3,6, or 1200 dollar check.  The BS factor is higher than ever in the Spite House.</description>

		<description>LOL...gee, could I have imagined another scenario?  Well how &#039;bout this?  Let&#039;s see the logs for work station closing, transport, and destruction.  How stupid is it to shut down a work station and destroy hardrives.  Wherever I&#039;ve worked they&#039;ve been cleaned-up and used again.  So, if they were destroyed, cough up the documents.  Secondly, I&#039;d like to know how much this cost taxpayers to have all these hard drives destroyed and replaced.  This whole thing is baloney.  The sad fact is that they are going to get away with this and all the other crap they&#039;ve pulled because CONGRESS IS FILLED WITH COWARDS AND THIEVES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AILES.</description>

		<description>My, it&#039;s been a busy March for Bushco--and we&#039;ve still got nine days to go!




•	Bullied our allies into supporting the war.
•	Destroyed the hard drives.
•	“So?”
•	Approaching 4,000 dead.
•	23,000 wounded.  Many horribly wounded.
•	Vetoed the anti-torture bill.
•	Berated Congress for endangering the nation by not passing Protect America Act, 	whenHouse voted for extending Protect America Act, but w/o telecom 	protection.
•	Solemnly warned about “overcorrecting” the economy, while praising Fed’s 30 billion 	line of credit to Chase so they can buy out Bear Stearns.
•	“It must be exciting for you … in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, 	confronting danger…” to troops in Afghanistan.  
•	“I’m just a simple President.”  Gak!
•	The waiting-for-McCain tap dance.
•	DOD study confirms no link between Saddam and Al Qaeda.

		<description>DreamCickle is so typical of the lunatic fringe that support this criminal administration. In their eyes nothing they do can ever be wrong because that would mean that they too must be wrong for supporting the criminals in the whitehouse.

Oddly they can&#039;t seem to grasp how after this administration fired the atty&#039;s for what looked like entirely political reasons on the surface (so beneath the surface there was some really ugly stuff going on) they were then Ordered to preserve all communications...but ...OOPS... they &quot;lost everything&quot; and they explain it away as a computer glitch. Those darn internets tubes are just way to confusing!

Yet this administration has at it&#039;s fingertips the NSA, CIA, FBI and the worlds best computer forensics experts that money can buy, yet they can&#039;t find anything.

This is exactly like the watergate tapes and they know it. But because their team is doing it, they pretend it&#039;s OK. I wonder how fast they would find their sense of outrage were Hillary or Obama to pull a stunt like this? (that&#039;s a rhetorical question, I know, They would explode in a mass of impeachment hearings!) Well it&#039;s now long past time that we explode in a rage of impeachment proceedings. appoint a special prosecutor and expose this criminal administration for ALL of the crimes and TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY!</description>

		<description>Hey DreamCrusher

&lt;em&gt;only to find out later that the people who did it worked for firms tied to Obama and Clinton… Well.&lt;/em&gt;

What Reichwingnut told you this lie?  They have asked for investigations into the incident and your FAUX News casters are telling you another big one.  Are all of you stupid?  Is stupid a requirement for being a conservative?  It certainly seems that way.  The Bush Administration is a pack of thieves, liars, cowards, and crooks.  All republicans in the 28%tile are ignorance accomplices to a crime family of thugs.</description>

Hummm...
What&#039;s the difference between an honest mistake and malevolence?

... I N T E N T!

The WH. is REQUIRED TO SAVE(READ ARCHIVE) RECORDS, 
NOT DESTROY RECORDS. See, when you know what you are doing is wrong but do it anyway, most likely to CYA, it then crosses from a mistake into the area of MALEVOLENT ACTIONS.
