Missing White House E-Mails
IEEE Spectrum Senior Editor Harry Goldstein sent me a link to a ZATZ Publishing article titled, Where Have All the E-Mails Gone?" that discusses in detail what can only be called the appalling and absolutely amateurish IT practices at the White House in regard to its email system and its legal requirement to preserve them.
Currently, tens of thousands or more of White House e-mail messages that span a period of up to two and a half years may (or may not) be missing - no one seems, however, to be able to provide a definite answer.
The White House claims that "there is no evidence" of missing any e-mails: it just can't produce them.
If that explanation makes your head hurt, be forewarned - your logic circuits will be overloaded even more after reading the explanations in the ZATZ article as to whey they can't be produced.
