Just in case you overlooked it:
SADDAM DOCUMENT PROJECT: IRAQFILES
The Pentagon is releasing many never before seen Saddam era documents and media. A large number of these are still in the original Arabic. The hope is that the blogosphere will help translate. At our new IRAQFILES blog PJM will monitor and post the growing number of translations from an Army of Translators of these documents and media. The first two, of the same document, are here (by Iraq the Model) and here. Others are being posted (with analysis) at the IRAQFILES.
IMPORTANT: As new documents are posted on the Pentagon site, please send your translations from the Arabic and analyses to the following email: iraq dash-sign translations at-sign pajamasmedia dot-character com. Please type "Translation Project" in the subject line.
The L3 and the MSM are still too entrenched with the WMD meme, "Bush Lied, People Died," and the Iraqi "
Civil War" to report on Saddam's atrocities. I guess neo-Hitlers get a free ride on genocide from the MSM editors. The
day of reckoning for the LL and the MSM will come soon enough. The Blogos will out them for the blind and naive idealists that they are.
The Blogos is now coming online to crunch away on these docs. The Blogos is an intelligent distributive computer network with parallel processing power far greater than all the Crays combined (super computers). This collective network is,
An Army of Davids, as envisioned by Glenn Reynolds in his new book by the same name.
Similarly as Hugh Hewitt writes, we are in information transformation period as great or greater than that of Martin Luther's time with the advent of the printing press in his book,
Blog: Understanding the Information Reformation That's Changing Your World. Lurther's time was when the control of information and the news of the day was wrested away from the elitist aristocracy and the Catholic Church. The citizens of that day now had access to the original source material.
Pajama Media has taken on the chore of warehousing the findings of the Blogos. See posts there by Roy Robinson a frequent contributor to
The American Thinker, John Hinderaker of
Powerline, Stephen Hayes of
The Weekly Standard [ed note: Has been on this story from the beginning], Omar of
Iraq the Model, and other direct translations. See
PJ Iraq Files
See this previous post from Tennyson on the importance of winning the War of Information,

UPDATE:
Roger L. Simon reports the release of more documents. John Hinderaker of
Powerline is calling for more
translators.
