I am not a computer expert, but what does these magnetic discs mean. Are those the same type big discs that we used to see many years ago in the IT departments here in the US. Please keep in mind that the Iraqi in 1997 had an old computer system and may have not have more modern systems until late 2001, 2002.

Folks,

The work being done by here by Jveritas is HISTORICAL. In our lifetimes, there has been no more important undertaking.

We face and evil that is more dangerous and deadly than the world has ever seen, and more than half the planet do not get it. For those of you that disagree, we knew whom the Nazi's were, yet we do not know whom the terrorists are and their sympathizers.

If we pull out and fail in Iraq this war will be lost. Our enemy will use it as a base and no adminstration will ever go back in, no matter how many terrorists stage there and attacks are planned and carried out from. Our freedoms as we have them and our childrens will be in grave grave danger.

The translation by Jveritas about Saddam wanting to use SUICIDE ATTACKERS (like the 9/11 hijackers) 6 months before 9/11 is A SMOKING GUN why the war in Iraq was right, not a diversion form the war on terror, a nail in the coffin for terrorism when we win, and IT SHOWS BUSH DID NOT LIE.

All of us have a resposibility to get this information out, however we can. If we fail, we fail our children and theirs. Our failure will have serious deadly consequences.

How many people thought an attack of 9/11 size would never occur here? If we fail in educating the world, will the next attack kill 100,000? I do not know, but I am not willing to wait and see. I am not going to roll the dice.

To those of you whom say the MSM will never report it, you have already given up. You might as well go and roam the streets of Iraq and surrender to the terrorists for your beheading.

Not I. I will fight to get this information out no matter how long it takes because my children, nephews and nieces are worth it.

Remember - "Evil will prevail when good men (and women) do nothing.

I say the MSM and the Democrats better look over the shoulder because this information is coming and I am bringing it to them.

magnetic discs

Hmmmm.....I would consider Floppy discs ...magnetic disks....Why cleanse them when they would be so easy to hide....

So by that logic,....I would expect them to be large capacity storage....like hard disk drives....

The "magnetic disks" could just be the translation for a regular hard drive. The hard drive of all computers store their data magnetically. (its all just ones and zeros).

Just as these documents are now reveiling the secrets of Saddams plans, their computer hard drives hold even more secrets. I would bet that the NSA or some such agency is hard at work or have already completed searching the hard drives of a lot of computers that were siezed when we rolled into Bahgdad. Deleteing the data doesnt make it go completly away. Unless they used special software to scrub these drives clean, no matter how much other stuff was written over the deleted data, it can still be recovered and put back together.

You are doing outstanding work here. Do you have a ping list for this stuff?

JV, these could be anything from the old Winchester discpacs you're probably thinking about to floppies or zip disks, or any other sort of removeable media. Or even all the above, depending on which directorates got the most recent upgrades. This is good work you're doing! Thank you, and keep it up!

Magnetic disks is just the translated word for hard drive (of a computer). It actually could be USB key, or other kind of 'flash' drive as well but knowing the years, I would think PC's or at least their HDD was removed and shipped to be 'stored' somewhere secret. A typical computer hard drive is only 3.inches thick, and are less than a foot long. Could stack hundreds in a simple, single crate.
