Salon.com Technology | FBI techs delete terrorist's email
"The FBI software not only picked up the e-mails of its target 'but also picked up e-mails on non-covered targets,' said a March 2000 memo to agency headquarters in Washington. 'The FBI technical person was apparently so upset that he destroyed all the e-mail take, including the take on' the suspect, the memo said.
And the FBI response? There never was any such information, and the technician wasn't supposed to destroy it without a court order because it's evidence, and Carnivore doesn't gather any information it shouldn't gather anyway, so the evidence that shouldn't have been destroyed never existed.
