People, its right there on the fmso.leavenworth page, first thing in a highlighted box

"The US Government has made no determination regarding the authenticity of the documents, validity or factual accuracy of the information contained therein, or the quality of any translations, when available."

You are wasting your time unless your goal is self gratification, that quote alone means these documents arent worth the bandwidth as far as proving anything goes.

I am not seeking self gratification here and I do not think anyone here is doing so. All what I did is to translate a document from Arabic to English that was posted on FMSO website. You seem very upset about this. What do you expect us to do when we find a document from the Iraqi intelligence files talking about a relation between Iraq and Bin Laden? Do you expect to just ignore it and say “move on nothing to see here”? I think you have the full right to doubt the document but do not dismiss us as self gratifying people because we are not.

I have not studied this site in detail, but it appears that these documents were found in Iraq during/after our recent occupation. That in itself is a strong argument in favor of their genuineness. It is, of course possible that some/all of the documents may be plants, but if that were true, there should be some supporting evidence. If you want someone to accept your argument, it behooves you to produce an alternate plausable explanation for the source of these documents.

I would suggest that everyone that can, closely monitor the FMSO site for important information. The media certaily isn't going to do it for us.

"You are wasting your time unless your goal is self gratification, that quote alone means these documents arent worth the bandwidth as far as proving anything goes." You seem confused. The US government says they made no determination. They did not say they made a negative determination.
