Just deleting emails is not the answer if you have many things to hide as they are also saved on the systems many servers. I expect George Bush is now sweating as his friend in UK Tony Blair is under fire for his lies. Could this be leading to the world courts, that people at the very top of the evil deeds concerning Iraq and the Afghanistan war, be put on trial for war crimes?
Least expect a white wash attempt by the elitist also behind the oil wars.
Washington (CNN) -- Computer technicians have recovered about 22 million Bush administration e-mails that the White House had said were missing, two watchdog groups that sued over the documents announced Monday.
The e-mails date from 2003 to 2005, and had been "mislabeled and effectively lost," according to the National Security Archive, a research group based at George Washington University.

22 Million Missing Bush White House E-Mails Found
at 01:41 on December 15th, 2009
Mother Jones on Monday detailed the "years-long legal battle" that Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW) and the National Security Archive (NSA) fought against the Bush administration over archiving problems that led to the loss of over 20 million White House emails.
The Bush administration first ran into archiving problems in 2003 but didn't begin to address the problem until October 2005. CREW and NSA filed the lawsuit in order to "force the White House to recover missing emails and implement an effective archiving system that would prevent important presidential records from being lost or misplaced in the future."
After months of balking, the Obama administration reached a settlement with the plaintiffs, under which the White House must recover a total of 94 days of missing emails from 2003 to 2005, all of which will be transferred to the National Archives for preservation and eventual release.
But don't get too excited -- the e-mails could take years to become accessible to the public

By the way, the 94 days of lost email cover the time period of the Dick Cheney/Valerie Plame outing.
