The documents of pre-war Iraq were published this morning on the Pentagon website, I did a quick search and I found a very interesting document written in Arabic and not yet translated to English. I did the translation and I found the following:
This document is a letter written by a member of Saddam Intelligence apparatus (Al Mukabarat) on 9/15/2001 (shortly after 9/11/2001) where he addressed it to someone higher up and he wrote about a conversation between an Iraqi intelligence source and a Taliban Afghani Consul. In the conversation the Afghani Consul spoke of a relationship between Iraq and Osama Bin Laden prior to 9/11/2001, and that the United States was aware of such a relationship and that there is a potential of US strikes against Iraq and Afghanistan if the destructive operations in the US (most probably he is referring to 9/11 attacks) were proven to be connected to Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban.
Below is a translation from Arabic to English of CMPC-2003-001488 document that was posted on Pentagon Website regarding the pre-war Iraq documents. (http://fmso.leavenworth.army.mil/products-docex.htm#iraq).
Text of the document in English translated from Arabic.
In the Name of God the Merciful
Presidency of the Republic
Intelligence Apparatus
To the respectful Mr. M.A.M
Subject: Information
Our source in Afghanistan No 11002 (for information about him see attachment 1) provided us with information that that Afghani Consul Ahmad Dahestani (for information about him see attachment 2) told him the following:
1. That Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban in Afghanistan are in contact with Iraq and it that previously a group from Taliban and Osama Bin Laden group visited Iraq.
2. That America has proof that the government of Iraq and Osama Bin Laden group have shown cooperation to hit target within America.
3. That in case it is proven the involvement of Osama Bin Laden group and the Taliban in these destructive operations it is possible that American will conduct strikes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

If there are more Freepers out there who can translate Arabic it would be great to see some of these other documents translated.
Have you offered FMSO a copy of your translation so they can post it for a larger audience?

Has the NY Times yet to admit that Stalin killed people?
The proper phrasing would be : "Has the NY Times yet to admit that Stalin killed millions of his own people?"
Doesn't the Dan Rather school of journalism state that the papers must be proved forgeries?
Otherwise they are authentic!

You're wrong about that. He has been repeatedly asked that question and has repeatedly said he would make the same decision.
Eye, please add me to the ping list for released Iraq pre-war docs. Thanks...
"You're wrong about that. He has been repeatedly asked that question and has repeatedly said he would make the same decision."
Yes, he has said that. And its the right thing to say.
They'll never admit that. I was wondering if they think he ever had ANYONE killed.
Thank you. Keep up the great work. Our prayers are being answered. Things are going to turn around here.
Too bad the RINO's won't allow the "white flag" ad to be run again on TV
Pass this "white flag" ad from Dec 2005 around on the internet, it's from gop.com
http://www.gop.com/Media/120905.wmv
At least gop.com has not been taken over by the RINO's!
CNSNews in Oct of 2004 released 42 documents that contained damning information on Saddam's Iraq. I am waiting to see if any of those show up in the mix of those which are released in the future.
Bravo, sir.
"I read the release yesterday and there was a QUALIFIER that extends to all documents just released. It said the documents have NOT been authenticated."
Let's hope these docs are forgeries so CBS will take the ball and run with it!
Wahet Zen, Wahet Zen! Shokhran Gezilen, dou' el-3aref saba3 maGHaref.

But I think it means: Very good! Very Good! Thank you very much, The knowledgeable can taste up to 7 spoonfuls!
Hidden meaning: None
Applicability: Praising somebody who knows a lot.
How does one pronounce 3?
I still believe there is so much going on that we have NO idea about.
Some because the MSM doesn't know and shouldn't, and some because they don't care about the truth.
