”Intelligence officials had serious concerns about turning loose an army of amateurs on a warehouse full of raw documents that include hearsay, disinformation and forgery. Mr. Negroponte's office attached a disclaimer to the documents, only a few of which have been translated into English, saying the government did not vouch for their authenticity.” - NYT

this statement is the Main Stream News argument why they will not get this information out. I think it is important for us to address.

They are wrong. The documents that I translated regarding Saddam regime WMD programs and his relation to terrorism are absolutely authentic and are not meant to be used for deception by Saddam regime. I am absolutely sure of that and I challenge any expert to prove that they are fake or meant for deception by Saddam regime.

Negropante was the major cause in shutting down the documents website. He was against publishing it from the beginning but he was forced to do so by President Bush. The reason for the document website shut down was because the IAEA complained that an Iraqi document containing sensitive information about Saddam nuclear program was published so Negropante took this complaint as an excuse to shut down the documents website. It was a huge mistake.
