We have learned this week that the White House lost over 5 million emails. According to Melanie Sloan, from the Citizens Responsibility of Ethics in Washington (CREW) and legal counsel to Joe and Valerie Wilson’s civil suit against Rove, Vice President Dick Cheney, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and Richard Armitage, Ms. Sloan learned that the Executive Office of President lost 5 million emails generated between the dates of March 2003 and October 2005.

The White House counsel’s office told CREW that they “were advised these problems back in 2005 and were given a plan of action to recover those emails, but to date nothing has been done to rectify this significant loss of records.”

One has to wonder of what were the events that were happening between the dates of March 2003 and October 2005. The answer is the CIA Leak Investigation and the Iraq War. How coincidental that the missing emails were around the time of former Ambassador Joe Wilson’s accusation to the Bush administration of distorting prewar Iraq intelligence The White House claims of lost emails without a trace look, smell, and sound like a cover-up. All roads lead back to a botched case and obstruction to Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald’s investigation.
