Lost E-Mails Obscure 'Plame-gate' Resent-Date: Fri, 9 May 2008 14:40:33 -0500 (CDT) The White House now admits it can't recover lost e-mails from emergency backup tapes for key dates in 2003, meaning some early Iraq War history may be lost. Two gaps also could obscure what senior Bush advisers were saying about early stages of the "Plame-gate" scandal. For the full story, go to http://www.consortiumnews.com .
