OK, I've downloaded them all.

If anyone makes a ping list for when new docs are released I'd appreciate being added.

If not, I'm willing to make one.

Negroponte plans to include many of the documents labeled "NIV"--for No Intelligence Value--in this first group of materials.

he considers himself above the president - does not want the release the docs - and you can bet he'll be careful not to release any that would prove Bush right -

and - releasing enough innocuous ones until th public doesn't pay any attention anymore

New DNC talking points:

Bush has lied to the American people, he has had proof of AQ in Iraq pre-war, has had proof of the existence of WMD in Iraq and has waited until just before mid-term elections to release it.

Oh yeah, Karl Rove planned the whole thing.

Also, attorney from Texas was going to spill the beans so Dick Chaney shot him in the face....with a shotgun made by halliburton.

This one doesn't seem "innocuous". Looks like one that might give the "Saddam had no links to Al Qaida" crowd get their knickers in a knot.

"ISGZ-2004-019920 2002 Iraqi Intelligence Correspondence concerning the presence of al-Qaida Members in Iraq. Correspondence between IRS members on a suspicion, later confirmed, of the presence of an Al-Qaeda terrorist group. Moreover, it includes photos and names."

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has created a website where it will post documents captured in postwar Afghanistan and Iraq. The website is hosted by the Foreign Military Studies Office Joint Reserve Intelligence Center at Fort Leavenworth and will be updated continuously with new documents.

Bump and bookmark

It hasn't been translated yet, but you are right, it doesn't look innocuous.

They are in PDF format. If you don't have Acrobat you won't be able to open them.

Ian Schwartz at 'Expose The Left' has posted audio of the BEST interview yet of former Iraqi General George Sada, author of 'Saddam's Secrets'.

Former Iraqi General Georges Sada, who was a military adviser to Saddam Hussein appeared on The Mike Rosen Show (850 AM KOA) Tuesday March 14th, 2006. He is described as an expert airforce pilot who played a large part in saving coalition pilots' lives in Gulf War I. Sada explains what happened to the WMDs prior to the US led invasion of Iraq in 2003, stopping Saddam’s planned all-out chemical weapons attack on Israel, saving the downed coalition pilots of Gulf War 1 from execution among other interesting topics.

See these two articles at 'Expose The Left' for the audio and all related links.

Looks like translating Arabic to English is very difficult. Found some interesting English translated reading however. Looks like we don't have to worry about finding ties between Al-Qa'ida and Iran. Apparently the Shiites running Iran were being groomed to be the successor to Al-Qa'ida. However, Al-Qa'ida now expects Iran to be the next US target.

Title - Political Speculation
AFGP-2002-602181
Synopsis: This document is a response to issues raised in a previous correspondence. It appears to be addressed to Al-Sahal Al-Mumtan’, but this could be the author’s name. The author is analyzing the impact of the destruction of the Buddha statues, the fall of the Taliban regime, and speculates on future U.S. steps in the Middle East.

My honorable brother, I disagree with you on another point, which forms the basis for your analyses about Iran and the Shiites (al-Shi’ah), who are likely to be candidates for the leading role and the organization’s successors in the near future.

However, I think that this won’t happen. I believe the next conflict in the Middle East after Iraq will involve Iran, because it has proved its inability and failure to handle the Islamic influx and bring it under its blind banner. Iran had a major failure on this issue; however, it is not attempting to achieve this by attacking Israel and America.

How can it fulfill the leadership role when it is incapable of guiding the Islamic insurgency?

[Looks like Al-Qa'ida was expecting the Iranian Mullahs to attack Israel and the US. And apparently the Mullahs of Iran were not very good at managing the 'Islamic insurgency' into Iraq from Iran.]

Yet Iran should prove its merit to the Muslim generation by attacking Israel, which was created by America. However, this is not suitable for these serious times with so many international infidels making plans. My suspicion is that the greatest achievement of the international infidels at this time is the crazy gyrations of Islamic groups that threaten their very existence to their roots. Whirling around like the Sufi doctrine movement, backward and fanatical, it lacks a clearly-defined doctrine and has taken from the world those who are loyal and honest. Also, its legal basis is shaky.

[Very difficult to figure this one out, but apparently Al-Qa'ida has concluded that Iran cannot attack Israel now. Perhaps this is because of the 'infidel' US military now sitting in between Iran and Israel.]

Isn’t a movement like this the hope of the Islamic nation, the objective of revolutionary youth and the protector of Jihad as long as the Nation is accustomed to its protector and its thief…? (TC: Arabic saying.)

I think the next stage is directing a strong blow at Iran to protect Israel from its missiles. The waiting heroes will be found in the staunch Taliban movement… why not? It did show legendary heroism in protecting Osama bin Laden and in destroying the Buddha idols (this heroism didn’t cost America anything but some of Mr. Buddha’s stones).

[Al-Qa'ida expects the US to strike Iran to protect Israel from its missiles. Al-Qa'ida also expects the 'Taliban Movement' (perhaps the collection of islamic terrorist groups) to help protect Iran.]

It appears that the Taliban movement will participate in destroying the thrones of the rejectionists in Iran. The soldiers of the movement are the Islamic groups, which will achieve great victories for U.S. policy (as long as the battle is under the Mythical Banner).

[It appears that the Islamic Taliban groups are expecting to destroy US forces when they move into Iran. I guess they have to come up with some type of plan. The phrase 'Mythical Banner' is difficult to figure.]

It doesn’t matter if the Nation is in existence for ten years before it understands the danger of delivering the leadership to those who avoided God’s law.

[Yikes ! Don't have a clue as to what that means.]

Trying to figure out what they meant by using the term 'Mythical Banner' in above posting. The banner translation actually appeared twice.

However, I think that this won’t happen. I believe the next conflict in the Middle East after Iraq will involve Iran, because it has proved its inability and failure to handle the Islamic influx and bring it under its blind banner. Iran had a major failure on this issue; however, it is not attempting to achieve this by attacking Israel and America.

It appears that the Taliban movement will participate in destroying the thrones of the rejectionists in Iran. The soldiers of the movement are the Islamic groups, which will achieve great victories for U.S. policy (as long as the battle is under the Mythical Banner).

'Blind Banner' and 'Mythical Banner' both used in reference to: a coming battle in Iran; and Islamic influx (insurgency) from Iran to Iraq. Interesting.

In the prologue to this book, Sada has a chilling description of a meeting with Saddam where plans to attack Israel with a mass air attack utilizing chemical and biological WMD bombs were being discussed. Sada actually had to tell Saddam that such a plan would not work because it would be the blind (Iraq) fighting the sighted (Israel). Apparently the Israeli planes had radar that could see well over 100 miles, but the Russian built Iraqi planes had radar that could only see about 15 miles ? Don't know if my memory is correct on that 15 mile range, but regardless it was unbelievably short. My first impression was that the Russian planes could not have had radar with a range that short. Perhaps there was a translation problem or perhaps that was an error that slipped into his book ?
