More could be lost
The plans to retain and store records from George W. Bush's eight years in office is lacking in specifics and raises the serious possibility that millions of missing White House e-mails will be lost permanently, a independent government watchdog warned Monday.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which is suing to force the Bush administration to account for the missing e-mails, obtained a copy of the National Archives and Records Administration's contingency plans for processing White House records. The eight-page plan (.pdf) contains few specific dates and warns of possible e-mail archiving complications relating to the ongoing lawsuit.
