The White House email controversy: hearings spotlight disturbing IT practices
Last week, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held hearings into the missing White House email messages. After watching the three hours of hearings and reviewing the various supporting transcripts, Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz' first impression can be summarized in three words: what a mess! Editor's note: We originally ran this article last week in OutlookPower, but due to certain editorial calendar priorities, couldn't run it until this week in DominoPower. >. Even so, certain explosive elements of the OutlookPower article were picked up on by members of our Lotus community and a bit of a small storm ensued. Read on for the full article that started the fuss, and some updated information about what's been happening since.
The White House email controversy: where have all the computers gone?
In the melange of technology and politics that describes the story of the White House email controversy, there is yet another chapter. In our latest plot twist, the White House CIO claims that email messages from 2003 to 2005 either can't be produced because they're not missing, because the computers they were on have been destroyed, or because it's too hard to find them. In this article, Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz digs in and provides a detailed analysis and point-counterpoint to the White House's response, along with exploring a key element that all of the parties to this controversy seem to be missing. And, sadly, he's also uncovered at least two new serious security risks at the White House. Read on. |
