A few days ago this story led the news --awakening me to the excited tones of the newsreader exulting in sing-song: The Bushies put state secrets on the internet, natty, natty, boo-boo. For a few hours the story hovered and then it disappeared. The Weekly Standard's on the case.
people who get their news from the Times may not know about the contents of documents that have already been released. One lays out plans for "Blessed July," an Iraqi regime-sponsored terrorist plot targeting Western interests in northern Iraq and Europe. Another mandates that the Iraqi regime pay foreign terrorists in the country at the same rate it paid its homegrown terrorists in the Saddam Fedayeen. Yet another details an offer from Hamas to stage suicide attacks against Americans. Still another presents a detailed plan for "utilizing" Arab suicide bombers. And on it goes.

There's the one that confirms Saddam Hussein's Iraq trained thousands of non-Iraqi terrorists from 1998 to 2003. And the one that shows the Iraqi regime provided money and weapons to Abu Sayyaf, an al Qaeda affiliate in the Philippines. And the one that lists hundreds of jihadists imported from Gulf countries before the war. And the one demonstrating that for a decade, ending only with its overthrow, Saddam Hussein's regime harbored and financed the man who had mixed the chemicals for the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center, the native Iraqi Abdul Rahman Yasin.
And now there's the formerly grey lady's nuke story. Which was interesting to our media as long as it seemed to be a Bush "gotcha" piece. As soon as they realized they were proving Bush correct (and not a liar), the story sank.
