A federal judge Monday ordered the White House to preserve copies of all its e-mails, a move that Bush administration lawyers had argued strongly against.
The White House is seeking dismissal of the lawsuits

Again i expect there is something to hide here.... This administration is dead, it seems to spend the whole of its time running from one cover up to another.
