22 Million Missing Emails from the Bush Admin "found"!

Hmm. Didn't Rosemary Woods, Dick Nixon's secretary "accidentally" erase 22 minutes of crucial White House tapes? What is it with "22"? It must be one of the mystical Republican numbers.

22 Million Bush Emails Recovered

The 22 million e-mails "would never have been found but for our lawsuits and pressure from Capitol Hill," said Anne Weismann, chief counsel for CREW. "It was only then that they did this reanalysis and found as a result that there were 22 million e-mails that they were unable to account for before."

…and said in response to a former White House spokesman whining about "a continued anti-Bush agenda, nearly a year after a new president was sworn in."

Let the crocodile tears begin for the former Bush administration apologists.

Yet,

"We may never discover the full story of what happened here," said Melanie Sloan, CREW's executive director. "It seems like they just didn't want the e-mails preserved."

Sloan said the latest count of misplaced e-mails "gives us confirmation that the Bush administration lied when they said no e-mails were missing."

Was it incompetence or lying? Was the WMD intelligence inaccurate or deceitful? What's the real M.O. of the GWB years?

I think you know the answer.

Don't salivate yet, though. Any information gleaned from the emails won't be available until 2014 at the earliest, which may be too soon for the former leaders of the Bush cabal.
