Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium

The U.S. Government currently is sitting on a mountain of captured Iraqi documents that potentially could provide valuable information on Iraq’s WMD programs, contacts with various terrorist organizations, corruption in the U.N.’s oil for food program, and other important issues. Yet these documents are being translated, processed, and declassified at a very slow pace. Why do so many documents remain unprocessed more than three years after the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime? How should they be handled to disseminate important information as soon as possible without compromising U.S. security interests?

I am glad this is being paid attention to

[Txsleuth]

YESS...this is great...these aren't unknowns on this panel.

[Txsleuth]

I'd love to go to this. We had a Heritage Foundation speaker at our club a few years ago and we went and were very, very impressed with the depth of research that went into the topics being discussed.

[JimRed]

The translation problem is mostly due to the fact that a large majority of the folks who speak that language are Muslim. Since lying for the advancement of Islam is a cultural norm, they can't be trusted to give an accurate translation of anything that might help roll up their terrorist brethren.

[Txsleuth]

You are selling yourself short...I can't imagine anyone else they could get that would be as good.

[Txsleuth]

Do you know if Ray Robinson is going to be at this??

He should be.
