Members of some reknown requested a post of document-related links, so here 'tis.
 
A note from your compiler- perhaps it is time for all this info to be posted on the web, in its entirity, so denizens of the 'net can translate and interpret.
 
Captain's Quarters initiated a similar project for Gitmo documents- see here:

Gitmo Study Nears Completion

I have received most of the surveys back from the blogswarm that undertook a review of the newly-released documents regarding the Guantanamo Bay detainees. Most of the study's volunteers have remarkably similar comments about the information provided in the documents. The Denbeaux study which prompted this blogswarm reached a number of conclusions that appear now to be highly subjective assumptions. For instance, the Duke wrote after his review:

Some found some strange stories in the testimony, such as this from Commander Salamander:

The CQ Blogswarm Study Group consists of these volunteers: ( too many to list here, see link for names & links )

May I draw this to your attention? And I note with some annoyance that I seemed to have been in "chat" when I hit "post new article," so it's in Chat. Oh, well, at least it's up to be read.

Iraq Documents Show Saddam Terror Connections

The trove of documents discovered in Iraq has been released to the public, and we’re now starting to see the results; Michelle Malkin has some early translations that are already making clear Saddam Hussein’s connections to terrorists—including Osama bin Laden.link: 80 comments

Newly released document links Saddam to al-Qaida
[Indicates regime was cooperating with bin Laden group to strike U.S.]

Among the pre-war documents posted online yesterday by the Pentagon is a letter from a member of Saddam's intelligence apparatus indicating al-Qaida and the Taliban had a relationship with the regime prior to the 9-11 attacks.

This shouldn't surprise anyone here;

AN ARMY OF TRANSLATORS NEEDED

If they hope to go thorough 48 thousand boxes of documents before elections this fall they will need to hire some Iraqis who have learned some English. There should be no shortage of translators.

I would like to remind everyone that CNS News revealed the existance of 42 pages of important Iraqi documents in October 2004. They subsequently went on to publish them in their entirety. I would suggest that these be added to this to the PJM archive.
 
Stephen Hayes most recent article in the Weekly Standard is a real eye-opener too.
 
I would also remind everyone of the documents found by Mitch Potter of the Toronto Star. ( Apr. 27, 2003. 09:58 AM )

In the minutes to come, we regained composure, biting our lips as Amir worked away at the rest of the document with the knife blade, as if performing open-heart surgery. A second blob of corrective fluid came off, revealing another "bin Laden." And then a third.

CNSNews.com Publishes Iraqi Intelligence Docs

Upon clicking on the individual pages of Arabic documents, readers will have an opportunity to click on the unedited English translation of those documents. We hope this serves to further illuminate a very important element of the ongoing debate.

How Innocuous Were Those Tapes, Anyway?

Not long ago, ABC News broadcast a number of tapes that recorded meetings of Iraqi officials before the American invasion, including Saddam Hussein and his inner circle. After the tapes aired, the general opinion was that the tapes had some historical and contextual interest but provided no smoking guns on Saddam's instransigence. The DoD and DNI have now posted transcripts of all the tapes, and the information contained within them may change that evaluation.

Ray Robison has begun a blogswarm to highlight the review of the documents. Be sure to read his ongoing commentary on the transcripts. For instance, page 6 of this document shows that Saddam was kept informed of the status of three German scientists working in the employ of Saddam:
