In this Iraqi document ISGQ 2004-00224003 dated February 7 2001, there was a discussion in upper echelon of the Iraqi intelligence about mass graves in Southern Iraq and how to shift the blame to the Coalition forces and make it look like these mass graves as the results massacres committed by the Coalition forces back in 1991 during Desert Storm Operation. What is also interesting about this document is that it mentions how to give the priority of covering the story to CNN so it will have an effect on the international arena as the documents says.
I did a partial translation of the document highlight the statement related to CNN in bold letters in the body of the translation. The rest of this 3 pages document that I did not translate will go into further deception on how to make big military funerals for the people in the mass graves though out all the Iraq provinces and how high level state officials will participate in these funerals.
Beginning of the Partial Translation
The Republic of Iraq
The Intelligence Apparatus
Date: 7/2/2001
No 1687
In the Name of God the Merciful the Most Compassionate
Secret
To the respectful Mr. Director of the Fourth Directory
Your letter secret and immediate numbered B 264 on 2/4/2001
1. No information is available to us about the Mass Graves in the Southern Region.
2.We see to achieve the observation the following matters:
A. Inspect the graves to confirm the existence of Nuclear Radiations.
B. Were they buried alive or their death was by suffocation.
C. Are they military personnel or civilians.
D. Are there tombstones that carry the names of the martyrs
E. Identify accurate marks and proofs of the graves and the possibility to reach it quickly and identify it.
3. We do not agree that the declaration about it through a direct Iraqi media in the first stage at least and not to cause public and party reaction so that the subject will take as a priority an international interest, and we should work on the following direction during this stage:
A. Leak the news through reliable sources.. News agencies or Satellite stations.. and that there is confusion, and indications from the members of the Coalition forces about the existence of mass graves civilians and military personnel in the South of Iraq.
B. The attempt to search for soldiers from the Coalition forces in a serious way to mention these truth through the agencies.
(1-3)
C. Ask some of the friendly countries with good technology to find these graves and for sure it will be asked from some news agencies in these countries to humanly participate in this effort and in case it is discovered there will be media reactions internationally and foreign and this media must be given a big space to repeat it and leak it to take its natural form of influence on the countries that made this bad deed and give it to the international general opinion.
D. Not to dig these grave by the Iraqi side… and it is possible to make a dialogue with the CNN channel to give them a priority on this subject to have an influence over the international arena and it will be accepted more than the Iraqi media.
End of Partial Translation
Is it any wonder why the U.N. was dragging its feet?
Check out this question I had the honor of asking President Bush Sept 20, 2004 in NH during the Presidential campaign.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/09/20040920-11.html
And the other question I have, real quick is, is that I watched a special on Fox News last night on the U.N. -- the oil for food scandal. And the thing is, is that when it comes down to the oil for food scandal, we have a lot of countries that opposed us at the very beginning of the war that have a lot of money staked in with Saddam. And I was just wondering if, when you address the U.N., do you plan on bringing it up to these countries? (Applause.)
LOL, I would have been too nervous to talk!
Thank you so much for translating these documents for us. They prove the Iraqi government has been very busy for a long time, trying to drag us into their mess.
Oh my gosh, DID DANNY BOY have an interview with saddam? He was SO POLITE, so interested in the wise words the GREAT LEADER had to say, he hung on every word. He was digusting.
Thank you for the ping.
CNN won't spin anything because they just will not report this information. The other alphabet news sources will ignore these Iraq documents too. We hope FOX News will do the job of reporting these translated documents.
Good point, you can bet the MSM computers are full of these translations, grabbed from FR and many people are assigned to read them....In the future they should be asked why THEY didn't publish these translations as soon as they got them...which is NOW..
sounds like more than "want" - sounds like they were secure in the knowledge that CNN was their go-between - in their pocket
:This is great stuff - nothing stays hidden forever.
THANK YOU!
Agree.
A. Inspect the graves to confirm the existence of Nuclear Radiations....Is there more to this? Why would they be looking for radiation and how was it applied if Saddam killed them?
When you want propaganda spread, go to the best!
We had several stories posted here about News Orgs from the USA going over there and witnessing Saddams terror and doing NOTHING about it!
I wish I had saved the links to the stories, but I believe CNN was one of the organizations who witnessed some of the brutalities that took place. I mean people being "eliminated" for "upsetting" Saddam, no less!
As I said, I wish I had saved the links. Perhaps some searching will produce them. If I had time I'd do it myself, but I don't. The flu and our grandson prevent a lot of time here these days. Good luck.
(This story isn't a surprise at all.. CNN is the News Org of choice when someone like Bin Laden or Saddam wants "word" to get out! Look who al Quada and bin Laden are using now? CNN is there main Peep!)
eyespy - could you add me to the ping list as well? Thanks in advance...
added.
appreciate it
