A few days ago, I posted a translation of a document culled from the captured Iraqi documents that the US found during Operation Iraqi Freedom. This particular memo, dated March 17, 2001, comes from a brigadier general in the Iraqi Air Force and requests a list of volunteers from all units under his command for suicide attackers. The memo explicitly explains the targets for these terrorist attacks, as the original translation from Joseph Shahda shows:

The top secret letter 2205 of the Military Branch of Al Qadisya on 4/3/2001 announced by the top secret letter 246 from the Command of the military sector of Zi Kar on 8/3/2001 announced to us by the top secret letter 154 from the Command of Ali Military Division on 10/3/2001 we ask to provide that Division with the names of those who desire to volunteer for Suicide Mission to liberate Palestine and to strike American Interests and according what is shown below to please review and inform us.

When I posted this document, readers of this blog questioned the accuracy of the translation. People know that Joseph translated this for Free Republic, a strongly pro-war website, and that it was distributed by Laurie Mylroie, another pro-war commentator. Skeptics felt that this pedigree lent itself to a possibly warped interpretation of the memo. While the accuracy of the translation remained in question, the actual text -- which showed an active Iraqi terror program aimed at Americans -- would not get the attention it deserved.

In order to solve this problem, I decided to hire two Arabic translators on my own.

Let's compare this investigative work posted by Captain ED to your typical DU post which consists of a few obscenities, a self proclaimed witty yet unoriginal nick-name for the President and Republicans in general, a narcissitic personality disorder paranoid reference to the NSA and how they are sure to be reading thier every post, all accompanied by a Gay Rights Flag or Che icon. What a waste of band with.

There is no comparison!

"The fact that the mainstream media, with all its resources and capability, won't do what you are doing speaks volumes."

The media's disinterest in these documents is nothing less than a scandal. The MSM will stop at nothing to uncover any internal White House memo or email that can be used against Bush, but have no interest in reading this material captured from Saddam. The fact is that the MSM are heavily invested in the "Bush lied" storyline, and will do whatever they can to suppress or minimize the importance of contrary material.

The failure of the MSM to delve into these documents is the latest and most glaring evidence of their bias.

Find that is the MSM. Where is the Conservative Media? The Radio Talk show hosts? The Conservative papers? "Fair and balanced Fox news? Why does the "Conservative" media do nothing but regurgitate the SAME spin lies being put out by our enemies? HERE they can make news, instead they act as an echo chamber.
