mr cheney feels compelled to hand over those subpoenaed documents, but the fire that ravaged........

[spanone]

taking bets

[DemGa]

1. Well, whatever's in there must be destroyed now

You know, with the smoke damage and all...just clerical stuff anyway.

[Richardo]

2. Anything that was ever in electronic form is backed up in at least one remote, secure location

Hard copies are as well, I'd wager.

If they're ducking subpoenas, staging a fire is about the stupidest way possible.

[POAS]

3. The fire probably started in the paper shredders

[madokie]

8. yeah maybe the tapes are harder to shred

and no one told them you have to do one at a time rather than hands full

[Octafish]

10. Motors burned out from overuse.

They'll bring in the Pentagon-strength shredders come January 2009.

4. CNN commentator hade a statement this morning....

she said the white house said they were busy trying to get the people out so they would not be harmed, they weren't interested in perserving documents. My son was at the computer and I was watching, we both heard it.

[EstimatedProphet]

6. OK, but would you rather have the alternative?

[Kahuna]

5. Ya know it...Oops! They were destroyed in the fire. nt

[Rex]

7. Darn! Shucks now, it was one of those goshdarn accidents!

Now watch as the rabid CS loonie, milktoast, nutball, stupid people make up all kinds of silly things that could have happen! When will they learn, laws only work if you enforce them!

Aw shucks, there goes another fire that destroys all my incriminating documents! Drat how does that happen!

[Canuckistanian]

9. Of course, the "optics" of this are damning

But only us moonbats are making a fuss about it.
