What Will Be Found In The 22 Million Missing Bush Administration E-mails?

Now a broader canvas of the George W. Bush administration can finally be told.

Computer technicians have found 22 million missing e-mails from the George W. era. Not 22 thousand…..22 million. According to the Associated Press, the e-mails only surfaced after two groups–Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and the National Security Archive--filed lawsuits over the failure of the Bush White House to install an electronic record-keeping system.

Two sides of the story:

Former Bush White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said that the 22 million e-mails had been recovered while Bush was in office and that misleading statements about the former administration’s work demonstrate “a continued anti-Bush agenda, nearly a year after a new president was sworn in.”

The other side of the coin:

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.”

Crazy. The emails would have never been recovered if it weren’t for the pressure from these two groups. What will be found within these 22 million emails? Is it going to be like finding the lost 18 1/2 minutes on the Nixon Watergate tapes where we find out the true plot behind Cheney and crew fooling the public over an unjust invasion of Iraq? Or will it a lot of e-mails from Geroge W. talking about baseball and pretzels stuck in his throat? Strange how 22 million e-mails went missing during the key years of the war.

Presidential records of the Bush administration won’t be available to the public until 2014 at the earliest.
