Brian, you asked what authority Congress had to get into this, and its clear they have authority. You asked what's the big deal about White House or RNC email accounts, and its clear its a legal requirement for all executive branch communications to be handled in a legal manner. Now you attack all oversight committees. Reminds me of a saying: "If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law AND the facts are against you, attack your opponent." Do I see another round of ad-hominem attacks coming, or can this thread die now? :) http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/ -- Dave Dittrich Information Assurance Researcher, dittrich () u washington edu The iSchool http://staff.washington.edu/dittrich University of Washington PGP key http://staff.washington.edu/dittrich/pgpkey.txt Fingerprint FE97 0C57 0843 F3EB 49A1 0CD0 8E0C D0BE C838 CCB5 _______________________________________________ privacy mailing list privacy () whitestar linuxbox org http://www.whitestar.linuxbox.org/mailman/listinfo/privacy
