This is starting to look like a tidal wave heading for the Main Stream Media...Judging by the sudden and furious outbreaks of trolls & disruptors in the "comments" section of blogs I frequent, the Other Side is running scared over this.
The are even bring up "Bush was from Texas, and Ken Lay ( Enron, for God's Sake! ) is too..."

Sadly the L/MSM due to their composite makeup, generally know how to deal with flood control. Freeper land shall shout with glee of all the evidence that will come out, America shall continue to sleep with glazed eyes. But let that not hamper our spirit. At least we are seeing some positive movement on this issue.

Duty called and you answered. Thank you.
You are doing your part to fight the MSM's effort to subvert anything that supports this war and the real reasons for it.

Good job!! I like the quote in the article where Shada states its his duty to do this!
To: Recovering_Democrat
"If there is anything that will remotely look like it will bash Bush, they'll run with it and they'll ignore anything in the documents that buttresses the case for the war." I, for one, don't care. The case for war is already irrefutable and does not need to be buttressed. Saddam Hussein did not comply with the several UN resolutions that required him to comply with weapon inspectors. Whether he had WMD or not, he refused to comply with inspectors to prove or disprove this. He fired at our aircraft. He violated the terms of the Oil-for-Food program. He financed palestinian terrorists. These are sound, objective reasons to invade Iraq and remove the Ba'ath regime. It's time that we stopped playing this endless game of "Move the Goal Posts". We don't need further justification for this endeavor.

Fox is covering it...in fact Tony Snow had a segment about it this morning.
It was interesting, because the documents he was talking about, were found recently in Afghanistan...from Bin Ladin to Mullah Omar...talking about using the media to get their message out...
Also, some documents that were more like directions on who to notify of what....and others that were complaints about suicide bombers.

Does this man have any concept of the cost of paying translators I don't think the cost is the issue. From a number of things I've been reading, it's become pretty clear that many of our government Arabic translators (many hired to meet diversity quotas) don't entirely support our government. They may have more loyalty to their religion than to their country or their employer...

The really clever thing is, when somebody on the net finds something, the original source will not be the US government, forcing the MSM to report it.

I think this has been a big problem among the "hired" Arabic translators who work for the government. I read last year that the government found out that some Arabic translators were either translating wrongly or emitting some parts in the translations and they were doing it on purpose.

Now, why don't LaME (Liberal Media Establishment) pay translators to work on these for their news?

I wouldn't trust their translations.....
To: Recovering_Democrat
Obviously, the MSM and Al-queda will say that all of the U.S. government translators are too busy translating false documents INTO Arabic for release on the net.
