Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2005 12:15 p.m. EST New Documents Reveal Saddam Hid WMD, Was Tied to Al Qaida
Recently discovered Iraqi documents now being translated by U.S. intelligence analysts indicate that Saddam Hussein's government made extensive plans to hide Iraq's weapons of mass destruction before the U.S. invasion in March 2003 - and had deep ties to al Qaida before the 9/11 attacks.
The explosive evidence was discovered among "millions of pages of documents" unearthed by the Iraq Survey Group weapons search team, reports the Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes.
In the magazine's Nov. 21 issue, Hayes reveals that the document cache now being examined contains "a thick stew of reports and findings from a variety of [Iraqi] intelligence agencies and military units."
Though the Pentagon has so far declined to make the bombshell papers public, Hayes managed to obtain a list of titles on the reports.
Topics headlined in the still embargoed Iraqi documents include:
Chemical Agent Purchase Orders (Dec. 2001)
Formulas and information about Iraq's Chemical Weapons Agents
Locations of Weapons/Ammunition Storage (with map)
Denial and Deception of WMD and Killing of POWs
Ricin research and improvement
Chemical Gear for Fedayeen Saddam
Memo from the [Iraqi Intelligence Service] to Hide Information from a U.N. Inspection team (1997)
Iraq Ministry of Defense Calls for Investigation into why documents related to WMD were found by UN inspection team
Correspondence between various Iraq organizations giving instructions to hide chemicals and equipment
Correspondence from [Iraqi Intelligence Service] to [the Military Industrial Commission] regarding information gathered by foreign intelligence satellites on WMD (Dec. 2002) Cleaning chemical suits and how to hide chemicals

Now THIS is what needs to be declassified. Well... that and the satellite photos i know exist showing weapons being unloaded in the Bakarra valley in Syria and then incinerated as the US troops were invading Iraq.
(yes... they do exist, i've seen them)
And this was not made public because . . . ?
"And this was not made public because . . . ?"
Because it would bolster Bush's argument. Come on, haven't you been listening the past 2 years. Good news for Bush ... not to be reported. Bad news for Bush ... sing it from the mountain tops.
Thanks for the post.
probably because they want to be sure that all of the documents are authentic so they cannot be falsely accused of misleading again.
Sunday Telegraph
Saddam's WMD hidden in Syria, says Iraq survey chief
By Con Coughlin
January 25, 2004
David Kay, the former head of the coalition's hunt for Iraq's weapons of
mass destruction, yesterday claimed that part of Saddam Hussein's secret
weapons programme was hidden in Syria.
In an exclusive interview with The Telegraph, Dr Kay, who last week resigned
as head of the Iraq Survey Group, said that he had uncovered evidence that
unspecified materials had been moved to Syria shortly before last year's war
to overthrow Saddam.
"We are not talking about a large stockpile of weapons," he said. "But we
know from some of the interrogations of former Iraqi officials that a lot of
material went to Syria before the war, including some components of Saddam's
WMD programme. Precisely what went to Syria
Interesting reading, eventho it's Newsmax
Has this been verified by DebkaFile?
If so it's hugh.
Because it's NewsMax.
Good grief, man, I'm not talking about the concept that the WMDs went to Syria, I'm talking about the satellite photos you claim you've seen. Why haven't THEY been made public?
This is series.
No, no, no . . . I'm talking about MaDeuce's sat photos!!!
Why haven't THEY been made public. Is everybody watching a football game and posting at the same time or something? Geez
Somebody else mentioned this this wee. Millions of pages in Arabic need declassifying and translated. 27,000 boxes in Qatar.
Beebers going off all over MSM newsrooms.
It seems to me to be obvious and provable that the 9-11 hijackers were involved in the anthrax attacks which followed 9-11. The only remaining question is, is there any rational reason why those guys would have gone to anybody OTHER than Saddam Hussein for anthrax? I mean, I can't think of any. The guy who's the best in the world at that sort of stuff lives in your own back yard and you're gonna go somewhere else??
good point!
