![Perry Defends Destroying Emails After 7 Days [VIDEO]](http://dingo.care2.com/pictures/causes/2862/2861803.large.jpg)
When asked, Governor Rick Perry explains that destroying government emails after a week makes sense. After all, it stops anyone from “using up our state employees’ time for no other reason than going on fishing escapades.”
Wonder if the same rules will apply if he wins the White House?

it's always so breath taking to see someone resque animals and see the enourmous love for animals.
Great idea and clearly beneficial to all involved, keep at it!
Great news, it's time this was a worldwide ban. So many chickens have a miserable short life.

Thanks for the article.
Clearly, the man has a lot to hide. I have virtually every e-mail I ever created in my government job. There might be a few embarassing comments in there but, if it were ever ordered by a court, anyone who needed to see 'em could. Nothing crooked in there. Sorry Perry but you are obviously afraid of what you do.
you can actually delete files so that they cannot be recovered.
Unless he's got some secret decoder ring, all emails are recoverable. Not only is he a snake
in the grass, he's not exactly smart.
This policy just screams cover up.
7 days is reasonable when deleting porn....isn't it?

You can bet the same rules would apply!
He might as well have said, "Why leave a trail?"
This guy just get smarmier and smarmier! First of all, e-mail records can always be retrieved, even if you delete them. Second, political emails should be considered government records, especially if they're actually discussing politics. (I could really care less if they delete the 'hey, time for lunch yet?' ones that zoom around every office!)
