White House ordered to keep backup copies of e-mail


Homeland Insecurity overruled by Constitution. What are things coming to?


U.S. District Judge Henry Kennedy has granted Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington’s (CREW) request for a temporary restraining order to prevent the White House from destroying back-up copies of millions of deleted emails.

“Today’s order is an important and necessary first step toward restoring and preserving for the public all the records of this administration, not just those self-selected for preservation by an administration committed more to secrecy than compliance with the law,” Anne Weismann, CREW’s Chief Counsel, said.

So, what do you think? Do the politicians running our government need secrecy to protect our security - or to cover their buns from criminal prosecution?
