I'm assuming that the 9/11 commission DID NOT have these documents?

"I'm assuming that the 9/11 commission DID NOT have these documents?"Wouldn't have mattered. Not on their agenda.

Unfortunately there was no Arabic translation available back then in 2004.

Even if they did, they weren't translated, and heaven forbid that the Commission should hire a few translators.

Or use machine translation, some of which is much better than the stuff one commonly sees on the net, such as Bablefish. Or just use computers to scan in the documents, and search for key words (in Arabic) and then translate the documents with "hits". You might even use machine translation on these "first pass" documents, then have real people scan the translations to see if they are really of interest. Then use trusted human translators to translate the ones that are "interesting".

Would it have made any difference?
