No, what currently fashionable is blaming government for everything.

Erosion of privacy - big deal, government rightfully blamed.
Lost emails - fairly normal in any big organization.

I personally lost email archives and I work with technology. I don't expect glorified accountants with government-run IT department to do better. Remember, at the time it was viewed as regular correspondence, and not 'mission-critical' stuff it became as a result of the scandal.

Don't attribute to malice what could be adequately described by ignorance.
