Look, this one's a no-brainer: backup tapes simply are NOT erased within an organization that has more than adequate budgetary resources unless you're trying to hide something...like criminal activity. Geez.
I mean, we've been through this...twice. Nixon was lying about the content of the tapes (and almost certainly was responsible for the crudely erased 18 and a half minute gap), Ollie North didn't understand the intricacies of server-hosted email when he decided to have a shredding party. And while you'll never get an argument from me when it comes to Team Bush not exactly consisting of the sharpest knives in the drawer, basic record keeping is an essential function of ANY organization.
Hell, even if, by some exceedingly small chance, it WAS an "innocent" mistake, they deserve to have penalties levied against them on grounds of incompetence. But something tells me it wasn't so innocent.
