Did the White House really lose 5 million e-mails?

It certainly looks that way.

On Friday, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino acknowledged millions of e-mails may be missing, according to cnn.com.

The Bush administration has been under intense scrutiny the past few days over whether or not Karl Rove and several other improperly used Republican National Committee e-mails that later disappeared. A liberal watchdog group claims hundreds of days worth of White House e-mails have disappeared (cnn.com).

The White House claims the e-mails were not intentionally lost, but cannot offer any ideas to what might have happened. Perino did say, however, that it was wrong not to have required all e-mails be saved for future reference.

Many e-mails being sought by a special prosecutor for the CIA leak investigation have also turned up missing.
