Bush doesn’t send personal e-mail - who really cares?

C|Net has a news article up: Bush fears his personal e-mail would be made public
“I don’t want you reading my personal stuff,” he told the editors.“There has got to be a certain sense of privacy. You know, you’re entitled to how I make decisions. And you’re entitled to ask questions, which I answer. I don’t think you’re entitled to be able to read my mail between my daughters and me,” he said.
- I think that’s a good call, and shows he understands at least to some extent how insecure e-mails are. I don’t communicate everything through e-mail, and I’m a nobody on the global scene.
- Why is it news that he doesn’t want all his personal communications to his daughters in the public domain? Who really cares? I guess I’m not sure how this made a tech news story, or the front page of C|Net. (This isn’t a political rant, I don’t care if it was John Kerry or Ralph Nader who said that.) It would have made more sense to me if the article finished by linking to PGP, GnuPG, or Enigmail or some other way to help secure your e-mails..
