WH wins appeal over e-mail

Washington (AP) – A federal appeals court says the office that has records about millions of possibly missing e-mails from the Bush White House does not have to make them public.
The appeals court in Washington ruled Tuesday that the White House Office of Administration is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. A group known as Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington had sued to get documents about the office’s electronic record-keeping.
The Bush administration argued that the office’s records are not subject to public disclosure, even though it had responded to hundreds of other FOIA requests in the past decade. A lower court sided with the Bush administration last year, and Tuesday’s opinion upheld that order.
