Civil Liberties Watch: The Missing White House E-mails

The Bush Administration dismantled the White House system for archiving e-mails and never put a new one in place as required by the Federal Records Act.

 Last week a federal Court  allowed an important lawsuit to to move forward in attempts to preserve these important records.
