The White House email controversy: a detour into mob journalism
We continue our technical analysis of the White House missing email controversy. Earlier, we learned that the President's staff uses at least two domains for email: EOP.GOV for official business and GWB43.COM for political business. Last week, we explored GWB43.COM for clues into the White House email infrastructure and came up with some disturbing questions. This week, we take a strange detour into mob journalism as we continue to dig for the truth.
The White House email controversy: the nightmare scenario
Since we've been following the path of the GWB43.COM domain name through SMARTech, and we know that Karl Rove and 21 other White House officials, abiding by the Hatch Act, run political email through GWB43.COM and SMARTech, we thought it best to look at the national security implications of this practice. In this article, we'll also look at questions of BlackBerry security with a security expert and the nightmare scenario compliance with the Hatch Act might inadvertently cause.
The White House email controversy: an archiving plan only FEMA could love
We continue our exploration into the missing White House emails we've all been hearing about. Aren't these emails archived? How do they manage their mail flow? Do they have an archiving system? For that, we turn to the White House itself. In this article, we'll learn what White House spokesfolk Dana Perino and Tony Snow have been saying about the topic. After listening to them and reading the transcripts of press briefings in-depth, we've got with even more questions than we started with. And the shakes.
 
'Deep Mail' on the White House email controversy
It appears we may have our own Deep Throat on our hands, as we continue our investigation into the White House email scandal. After we published our second article, we got an interesting email from someone with a very anonymous Gmail account. Having no self-control ourselves, we've nicknamed him "Deep Mail". Here are his letters to us.
The White House email controversy: can email messages just disappear?
We continue our analysis of the White House email controversy by looking at the what might have happened to the alleged 5 million missing messages. In this article, we're going to look at how many messages may be missing and then deconstruct some of the damning statements made by the loyal opposition. Don't worry, though. While this week it'll look like we're mostly picking on the Democrats, fear not. Next week, we'll be asking tough questions of the White House about why they chose to migrate email systems in the middle of a build-up to war.
