***scroll for updates...translations coming in***
If you read nothing else today, make sure to go to this site.

How about an Army of Davids to translate and process the info?
Debate at RedState.
Flashback: AJStrata - Unleash the blogosphere
Flashback: Pajamas Media documentarian Andrew Marcus interviews Rep. Hoekstra Feb. 16 about the docs: "They ought to be put on the Internet...unleash the power of the 'net on these 55,000 boxes of documents to see exactly what went on...Let the blogosphere go!"
And an Army of Freepers has started to dig through the docs. Jveritas provides a translation of a document linking Iraq and Osama bin Laden CMPC-2003-001488 (hat tip: Jawa Report):
John Hinderaker starts digging into the new document trove here.
Background:
Steve Hayes, who got the ball rolling here.
Michael Barone, Why Do Democrats Fear the Al-Qaida/Saddam Relationship?
Power Line, here, here, and here.

Previous:
Saddam's terror training camps
Unless we see a translation that is different I think we have this:
Proof that Saddam had small amounts of anthrax.
Proof that Saddam would use non Iraqi terrorists to carry out a biological attack.
This is exactly the scenario that President Bush warned about, Saddam giving WMD to terrorists. This is the Mother of all Smoking Guns.
Was anthrax stolen from Iraq?

Keep checking back to the Weekly Standard's website.
And over at the mothership Pajama Media;
ABC may not be covering Saddam Hussein's trial very well, but it has provided excellent coverage of the newly-released Iraqi Intelligence Service documents captured by coalition forces after the dictator's fall from power. Earlier today it added two more significant documents to those it had already translated, and the new material shows more evidence of Iraqi cooperation with al-Qaeda: The first document (CMPC-2003-001950) is a handwritten account, The second document (CMPC-2004-001117) is a typed account...This shines an entirely new light on the OFF scandal. Not only was the UN complicit in helping to support and sustain Saddam Hussein's grip on power, but it also enabled Saddam to buy enough intelligence from a permanent member of the UN Security Council ... the same one that now wants to block action against Iran.
