May 7, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- The Bush administration admitted this week it does not possess the backup tapes for administration emails sent and received between March 1, 2003 and May 22, 2003, which is significant considering the Iraq war began on March 20, 2003, according to a report in The Register.

Some White House critics say they're not surprised by the news, or claim to have suspected this for quite some time. In October 2007, two government watchdog groups filed separate lawsuits against the Bush administration to recover millions of email messages that mysteriously disappeared from White House servers.
Critics of the administration have called the White House overly hesitatant to respond to inquiries on whether or not the emails were available on backup tape.
Late Monday, the White House responded to a suit from the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, admitting that some of its backups do not exist.
The Bush administration has had other problems on the email archiving front, as court filings previously revealed that the administration's IT workers tend to recycle backup tapes prior to October 2003.
In its declaration on Monday, which can be viewed here, the White House also says it would prefer to overlook a court order demanding that it back up its emails.
