Pleasure to see The
Connection author Stephen Hayes's Sam-Spade-work digging
into the still unavailable documents of Saddam Hussein's terror
regime featured in today's WSJ lead
editorial.
Spoke to Steve last Friday the 6th, when he published
online at Weekly Standard a summary of the
search for the truth so far, to reveal that only fifty thousand of
an estimated two million captured documents have yet been
translated and archived. The project is titled DOCEX, and it goes
slowly and without any P.R. from the Bush team or the DOD. What we
have so far, from just the period 1999 to 2002, points to three
terror training centers in Iraq, at Ramadi, Sammara, Salman Pak,
where the regime ran a rent-a-jihad program for a witch's brew of
terror gangs.
Documents also point to chemical and biological
weapons training, but the mother lode is the documented linkage
with Al Q, which is extensive, detailed, confirmed and confirmed
and confirmed. We can presume the links to Iran's IRGC, Syria's
Assadists, and the homicidal HizbAllah are also layered throughout
DOCEX: dates, cash pay-offs; and we can dream of finding thank you
notes from such as gab-gifted rats who are also central London MPs
as well as from pompous, sartorial international civil servants now
making kiss and make-up calls to Tehran.
The lone explanation for why Team Rumsfeld has kept
this satanic treasure chest from us is that there was fear of
selective translating by the oppo teams during the '04 campaign.
Steve Hayes points to Steve Cambone at DOD as the gatekeeper; but
Steve also told me that that is changing or will change shortly.
There is no longer any rational explanation for why we don't have
these documents. This is evidence that can be used right now for
the hot pursuit of criminals to Damascus, Moscow, Paris, Pyongyang.
Every suspicion, every name, every twisted motive is somewhere in
those papers, because the Saddamists imitated the Berliners in
documenting the villainy.
DOCEX is Scheherazade. When we get that doc mountain
range dumped on us, there are dozens of careers to be made by
journalists, investigators, politicians, statesman, prosecutors,
lawyers and the odd historian in retelling the thousand and one
vices of Baghdad and its evil djinns.
