When the media saturates our daily existence with dirty words such as financial crisis, subprime loans, credit crunch or the big ol' war on terrorism, you can understand the need of common folks to point the finger at someone or something, hoping at the very least for some façade justice. Sadly, according to the magistrates residing in the Greatest Nation in the World, the angry mobs are to sit this one out, at least for now...

(Washington Post) The White House does not have to make public internal documents examining the potential disappearance of e-mails sent during some of the Bush administration's biggest controversies, a U.S. district judge ruled yesterday.

In a 39-page opinion, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said that the White House's Office of Administration is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), even though its top officials had complied with the public records law for more than two decades.

The Office of Administration, which performs a variety of services for the Executive Office of the President, announced it would no longer comply with the FOIA last August, three months after an independent watchdog group filed a lawsuit seeking to discover what happened to the e-mails, which may have vanished from White House computer archives. 

Acknowledging that the issue "is a close one, and is not easily resolved," Kollar-Kotelly wrote that the Office of Administration "lacks the type of substantial independent authority" necessary for it to fall under the FOIA. She added that the office performs mostly administrative functions, which also exempts it, and that past compliance with the FOIA was "insufficient by itself" to subject it to the law's requirements.

Luckily for the White House, they can't be held accountable for the disappearing act of those pesky presidential emails, and you can see the extent of their "freedom" by reading full version of this article. However, for the rest of us that aren't untouchable, secure messaging solutions are highly important, so you when want the best one on the market you owe it to yourself to get AXIGEN.
