The White House<\/span> has acknowledged recycling its backup computer tapes of e-mail before October 2003, raising the possibility that many electronic messages \u2014 including those pertaining to the CIA leak case \u2014 have been taped over and are gone forever.

The disclosure came minutes before midnight Tuesday under a court-ordered deadline that forced the White House to reveal information it has previously refused to provide.<\/p>\n

Among the e-mails that could be lost are messages swapped by any White House officials involved in discussions about leaking the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Before October 2003, the White House recycled its backup tapes “consistent with industry best practices,” according to a sworn statement by a White House aide.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Um, industry best practices also call for keeping permanent copies off-site, or recycling permanent copies only in keeping with a published document retention policy (usually written and reviewed to adhere to legal document retention requirements).<\/p>\n

Unless, of course, we’re talking about Enron-style man-sized shredder types of best practices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
