It appears the document drop of material found in Baghdad and Afghanistan is starting to have the expected affect. Stories on the numerous discussions and joint efforts between Saddam and terrorists are integrating into the American psyche and building the picture which can only be seen as a summation of a lot of smaller pictures. While each document, standing alone in isolation, seems marginal, the larger picture coming to together is akin to those mantage pictures of movie scenes which, when put together, give you a picture of something else.

World Magazine (never heard of it before this) has an article on Saddam and the documents which is a must read. Major Hat Tip to RCP for this find.

There they sit. Forty-eight thousand boxes containing thousands upon thousands of documents from the Saddam Hussein regime stacked variously to the heavens, entirely filling a desert warehouse where Central Command has its headquarters in Qatar—a message in a bottle writ as large as Wal-Mart. Three years since U.S. soldiers swept into Baghdad and began collecting pages out of Saddam’s playbook on a regime allegedly involved in terrorism, in propagating weapons of mass destruction, and in plotting deadly war against the United States, that regime’s written and audiotaped record remains largely unexamined, barely translated, and—until this month—grossly underestimated.

Riveting stuff. While impeachment will be the big issue for the left in 2006, the deciphering and investigation of this mountain of information will drive the politics on the right.  The article speaks for itself so I will just pass it on for others to ponder.
