Someone trying to remain anonymous can hide e-mails by routing them through different servers or using public computers that don’t keep activity logs. But often people make mistakes, leaving their e-mails traceable by investigators.

With cloud services and more storage capabilities, thousands of pages of e-mails that users think no longer exist may simply be stored out of sight but within easy reach of watchful authorities.

So what are the lessons to be drawn from the general’s downfall? First, never cheat. Second, e-mails offer only limited privacy. Once an e-mail is sent, or even just saved as a draft, things are out of your control.
所以，我们可以从这位彼得雷乌斯上将的垮台中学到什么呢？第一，永远不要欺骗。第二，电邮只提供有限的隐私。一旦电邮发出去，哪怕即使是存到草稿箱，一切就由不得你了。
