The Arabic original shows the Falcon emblem of the Iraq Intelligence Service. A translation is provided if you scroll down. I highlight the key wording but there is more:
March 11, 2003
The al-Quds liberation army division supplied us with information....as follows.
1. The Iraqi government will distribute the same leaflets that the American forces are distributing but it will contain anthrax.
2. Iraq imports uniforms resembling American forces uniforms for the purpose of killing Iraqi citizens....
3. Dig trenches around Baghdad...oil...burning...cause mayhem
Now this letter is from al-Quds, a Jihad organization that supports the Palestinians. Saddam was the patriarch and Iraq officers worked closely with them.
IZSP-2003-00000859 also talks about the al-Quds Basra division. This is a a letter from a paramilitary organization INSIDE Iraq and not from Palestinian territories. The al-Quds in Iraq are Palestinians who live in Iraq and also are involved in Palestinian activities. They fought for Saddam because Saddam supported them in Palestine. The officers were Iraqi.
The al-Quds are covering their own butts by telling the IIS what they have been ordered to do or even trying to get them to stop Saddam since the war is immanent. If Saddam wanted to kill Iraqis with anthrax to make it look like the U.S. did it, it would be wise for him to use Palestinians instead of Iraqis. Therefor, it makes sense that he ordered the al-Quds to do it.

Count on the Slimes to twist it to their advantage.
Now he is not only doing translations of the documents ,,,,,he is correcting some of the translations done by others prior to his seeing them . So now Jveritas has gone beyond original translation, beyond what the New York Times called 'second guessing' and he is now 'correcting' the government field translation. Let me guess, even the New York Times will complain about that somehow.
I think reading glasses will do the job.
I'm so vain...lol.
What thread was that?
ping for updates.....
Not on here.... on his blog.
On here he posted clarification as soon as he read the document posting.
OK thanks.
I'm late coming to this thread (just getting home), but just scanning it, it seems there have been some misunderstandings. Alas, this is what the left wants--excuse my tinfoil hat, but I halfway wonder if some mistranslations will be placed here and there just so they can discredit them ALL.
And didn't the NYT say yesterday that jveritas only knew a "smattering" of Arabic? ROFL!
I think you may be correct about the potential for deliberate mis-translations.
Thank you, jveritas for your insistance on providing the correct translations.
but it wont be loud enough to wake up the MSM
That is always a concern and we need to avoid the misunderstanding, the misinterpretation and inaccurate translation but rather correct it as soon as possible when it occurs so we do not allow the Left to cast doubt on our credibility.
You welcome Peach :)
However,,,,
if they could find a story that reflects poorly on the President, even if the story was based on FORGED PAPERS,,,,well,,,
NOW YOU HAVE A MAJOR STORY THEY WOULD AGGRESSIVELY COVER!!!
Speaking of which, why has the MSM NOT done a major story on exactly WHO made up those FORGED PAPERS that CBS so willingly used?
Most of the American left appear to be simply the fools or the willing puppets of the communist disinfo agents amongst them. The real problem are the Russians and their kin the Chinese. To borrow a line from Rush, the Russians and Chinese do not have 'half their brains tied behind their back just to make it fair'.
See post 100 for intro. Islamic terrorists may now be #2 on the threat list. Or possibly #3 behind the Russians AND Chinese. IMHO.
