The Politics of E-Mail

It’s springtime in Washington, D.C. The cherry blossoms have bloomed, the tourists descended, and on both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue a new "scandal" is erupting.

In the Watergate era, there was the controversy about Rosemary Woods and the 18 ½ minute "gap" "“ a missing portion of a taped conversation of June 20, 1972. Now in connection with "U.S. Attorney-gate" we have a new controversy. The alleged "destruction" of electronic mail sent by employees of the White House through e-mail servers used by the Republican National Committee. The matter raises more important issues for government agencies, companies, ISP’s and others. Do I really have an e-mail retention policy, and what e-mails do these policies apply to?

Not to worry, w/ US govt systems there will always be some geek or engineer who, given the order to delete, will make a copy first to cover his own butt or to potentially profit from in the future! Unclear laws here mean legal cases about such matters will be drawn out over 20 yrs.
