The shut down of the Iraqi documents website was a huge mistake.

Which makes one wonder just why the heck they did it.

Thanks for all the work, jveritas!

Negropante who was Director of National Intelligence at that time did want the documents published from the beginning because he believed, wrongly of course, that there were nothing in these documents. The President and Republicans in Congress twisted his hand to put the documents in public domain. However when the UN complained about what they called a “sensitive” document regarding Saddam regime nuclear program published on the Iraqi documents website, Negropante took the opportunity to shut the website down.
