Two former CIA directors have resigned from the board of the organization planning tomorrow to make public secret recordings of Saddam Hussein and his advisers.
In the last week both John Deutch and James Woolsey abruptly left their positions at Intelligence Summit, according to its president, John Loftus, who said their departure is part of a campaign by the directorate of national intelligence to punish him for releasing the recordings.

We will be waiting for the mea culpas to start from the left. From Al Gore all the way down the kook food chain! Any and all evidence proving that Bush et. al. might have been correct, will be ignored. It will be like when all the other women came forward to say Clinton was a sexual predator; Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, etc.
Manufactured evidence, liars, sex was consensual, exaggerated claims, all part of a vast right wing conspiracy.

One of the tapes had Saddams guys saying that they had grossly under reported the amount of biological weapons that they had to the UN. I'm suprised that I heard this on ABC.

Beginning to wonder if all the hysteria over Cheney's accidental shooting is an excuse for NOT covering this story.
Remember the wild hysteria over 'yellow cake' that went on forever?
Suddenly the issue is no long relevant?

There's also the Able Danger story- the effort required to ignore that is impressive indeed.
I have a feeling that these two stories may meet somewhere down the road.

Like I said there is probably much there of interest and of use in Saddam's trial but they may not think it is useful to the present direction.
One thing I read a couple of years ago, maybe more, was that one translator at the CIA told the supervisors that another translator was purposely misrpresenting what she was reading or hearing. I never heard that anything was done about that. With the shortage of translators that could easily be an ongoing problem with moles being hired to do intelligence for us.

"Isn't there a few red blooded American dudes that can translate these documents and tapes. Surely there are a few around that could be paid $50 an hour to transcribe this crap. We have been waiting for a couple of years now and haven't even scratched the surface."
Don't we have recognition & translation software that could produce a rudimentary understanding of all these documents and tapes in short order?

I'd like to believe these tapes will knock a giant hole in the Rat's argument but, MSM is hurriedly arranging their spin.

I don't know if you saw the initial reports last night. Some creative editing made Saddams admissions tame and nonthreatening.

Has Scott Ritter claimed that these recordings are fraudulent yet?
And have we heard anything on these tapes about pilot Capt. Scott Speicher?

BTW Loftus is not a Republican.

Ther's a large Iraqui-American comunity, many of whom came here for political asylum before the Liberation. Many of those folks would probably be happy to make $50.00/hr. translating the doucments. I've not read of any sincere and determined effort by the government to recruit them as translators.
To: gr8eman
The left will simply dismiss it as a fabrication by the WH. My UF professor buddy already has. And if it is real then WH translators deliberately mistranslated it.Remember facts, actual events, existing objects, are irrelevant to Liberal Truth which is a term synonymous with the older term "Party Line."

ABC plays tapes of Saddam Hussien talking about a WMD attack on Washington and what is WRKO's John DePetro talking about? The VEEP had a beer at lunch. FREEP WRKO!
