Wall Street Journal skriver idag apropå Hillary Clintons hantering av sina e-mail att hennes make Bill inte använder e-mail och bara skickat två e-mail i sitt liv.
The former president has sent a grand total of two emails during his entire life, both as president, says Matt McKenna, his spokesman.
As president, Mr. Clinton’s first email was a message to John Glenn, the former senator and astronaut who in 1998 was making a return trip to space. Mr. Glenn wrote Mr. Clinton, and the president replied. “Hillary and I had a great time at the launch,” Mr. Clinton wrote in his note. “We are very proud of you and the entire crew, and a little jealous.”
His other email was to U.S. troops serving in the Adriatic.
Men hur är det då med den historiska mejlväxlingen den 5 februari 1994 mellan Bill Clinton och Carl Bildt ?
Dear Carl:
I appreciate your support for my decision to end the trade embargo on Vietnam and thank you for all that Sweden has done on the question of the POW/MIA’s.
I share your enthusiasm for the potential of emerging communications technologies. This demonstration of electronic communications is an important step toward building a global information superhighway.
Sincerely,
BILL
NOTE: The message was transmitted on February 5 and released on February 16 as part of a statement by the Press Secretary announcing the first Presidential electronic mail correspondence with a foreign head of state. The release also included the text of Prime Minister Bildt’s message to the President as follows:
Dear Bill,
Apart from testing this connection on the global Internet system, I want to congratulate you on your decision to end the trade embargo on Vietnam. I am planning to go to Vietnam in April and will certainly use the occasion to take up the question of the MIA’s. From the Swedish side we have tried to be helpful on this issue in the past, and we will continue to use the contacts we might have.
Sweden is—as you know—one of the leading countries in the world in the field of telecommunications, and it is only appropriate that we should be among the first to use the Internet also for political contacts and communications around the globe.
Yours,
CARL
