Judge allowing WH emails to stay missing runs FISA court
As reported by the AP, "U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly says the Office of Administration is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act, enabling the White House to maintain the secrecy of a lengthy internal paper trail about its problem-plagued e-mail system."
Conveniently, "in May 2002 Chief Justice Rehnquist appointed Judge Kotelly to serve as Presiding Judge of the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court , which is a 7-year appointment."
Why do I find that odd?

Incidentally, this is the same judge that got the Microsoft antitrust appeal, and ruled that Microsoft could be trusted to comply with the terms of the agreement, despite their history of failure to comply to previous agreements. A very trusting soul, she is. Microsoft subsequent failure to comply with the agreement she signed off on.

Thanks, I'll take that as evidence that the Microsoft "NSA Key" in Windows really is a FISA-approved backdoor. ;-)
