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.

How do you choose which document to translate next? There is such a huge load of documents--where do you start?
"It's up to citizen journalists to get this out. Simple as that."
;) Thanks!
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.
This last translation by Jveritas 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.
Things are marching along in the right direction.
"This is a must read for all of us:" ,br>
Thanks E. Will book mark the captain's commentaries for more carefull review in the near future.

Believe it or not, I only stumbled on to this sight several months ago, after sparring with Liberal idiots for 3 years....
The DIFFERENCE on this site, from the loons at DU, and a half-a-dozen other Lib boards is that FACTS take precedence over propoganda here...
If you post a half-truth, SOMEONE is going to call you on it.
It's been said that a lie travels the world 1,000 times, before the truth ever takes flight...
Now, it would seem, the truth has finally become airborne, and it's up to us to make sure it gets heard over the din.....
bump for publicity
