One thing I don't get and drives me mad - why didn't she insisted of using pgp, but sent them plaintext. A chimp could learn to use it in 2 hours. So I guess for a career politician it would take a week. But it is doable.
What worries me is not the ethical part - I am yet too cynical, but the total disregard of basic security.

A simple policy - I have tuned the server to discard any non encrypted and non signed email will force big chunk of the beltway elite to learn a new thing.
