Gmail, etc. in White House is gonna be investigated...

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/02/19/republican-wants-white-house-e-mail-plan/
excerpt:
*****
A California Republican congressman has called on President Obama to put in place a system that ensures all White House emails be preserved even if official business was done through private e- mail accounts.

[...]

?The use of personal e-mail accounts, such as Gmail to conduct official business raises the prospect that presidential records will not be captured by the White House e-mail archiving system. Consequently Gmail users on the President?s staff run the risk of incorrectly classifying their e-mails as non-records under the [Presidential Records] Act.?

[...]

?In order to ensure that they were accessible in the first hours and days of the administration, some staff members created email accounts from which to conduct official business before their government accounts were operational,? a spokesman for the White House said in an email to CNN.

hmmmm...this is sound like the start of e-political-drama...
