JP has written an excellent analysis of the reports of "findings" by Western journalists, mainly from the US and UK... But the issue raises many questions: Why didn't any journalist from any other country find these documents, especially one who spoke Arabic and would be more credibly believed if he were to claim that he saw the documents and took them, knowing what they contained? Instead, we are told that some journalists found documents whose contents they did not understand, took out hundreds (or perhaps even thousands) of these documents, and spent many nights in the safety of their hotel rooms poring over them. We are not told why they chose those specific documents, how they transferred all those hundreds of documents unnoticed to their hotels, or did the US Marines help them transfer these documents?? Another thing I found of interest. I did notice in the picture accompanying one of the articles that the document referred to as containing Bin Laden's "covered" name was hand written. Now that is strange! Why would the Mukhabarat, with all the money available to it and the resources at its disposal, not use computers or even an old fashioned typewriter to prepare memos? After all, a top PC costs only $500 in Baghdad, and all government offices have PCs.. And as we all know, white correcting ink is used by typists. So if there was ink, why wasn't there a typewriter?? And if one intends to cover a name or word, why cover it up with white ink which can be we scraped away with a razor, while it can be covered up with some dark ink or scratched out?? Unless, of course, that general "S.A.R." had himself hand written the document.. Which would explain a lot... Were the orders allged to be from Saddam to pay Galloway those millions also handwritten?? I know, from first hand information received while in Baghdad last January, that many Ministries and important establishments had removed their archives and files to safe places in anticipation of the attacks. So why would the Foreign Ministry keep such sensitive documents in the building of the Ministry, when less important documents have been stores somewhere else? This looks like another one of the famous British forgeries. And like all previous British forgeries, it is naturally a pathetic attempt... I don't understand the whole fuss about Galloway. Whether or not he received money is of no importance at all. Why can Denis and Mark Thatcher, for example, receive millions in commissions from British deals with Iraq and Galloway should not? Why can Bush Sr. receive millions in presents from the rulers of Kuwait, and Galloway can not? This British hypocrisy is amazing.. For a government which was caught lying many times in a few months time, I find morality a strange issue to be taken up by it.. And so I think we should not allow the Zionists in Britain and the US to force us to defend issues that are of no relevance and make us forget the important ones: that Iraq was attacked in violation of international law; that the Geneva Conventions were violated by the Coalition of two; that the invaders should leave immediately; and that the crimes of the Coalition should not go unpunished... In solidarity HZ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.
