...financial fraud in part because of an e-mail that told employees to eliminate any unnecessary paperwork. A shredding party ensued. In the Martha Stewart insider-trading case, jurors said one of the more damaging pieces of evidence had to do with the fact that Stewart tried to alter an e-mail that had been sent by her assistant.

Japan political experts have speculated that such delays, including perhaps waiting until next July's upper house elections, could change the current agreement that was made under the LDP administration, but Green says radical changes under the Democratic...
