The New York Times reported Friday that officials from the
International Atomic Energy Agency objected to U.S. government
officials putting up about a dozen Iraqi documents, containing
"charts, diagrams, equations and lengthy narratives about bomb
building" from Iraq's pre-1991 nuclear program captured in the
invasion of Iraq.
The Web site was established in March to make public Iraqi documents
seized following the toppling of the Saddam Hussein regime. According
to the Times, its birth was the result of Republican congressional
pressure to help make the case that Iran had an active program to
develop weapons of mass destruction -- a key rationale for the 2003
invasion, since debunked by a massive and fruitless search.
"This is a classic, textbook example of the dangers of politicizing
national intelligence issues," said Joe Cirincione senior vice
president for national security and international policy at the left-
leaning Center for American Progress in Washington.
"In their zeal to promote the idea Saddam Hussein in fact did have
(WMD), congressional proponents of the war ... have put up documents
on the internet that could give terrorists and states hostile to the
United States the very instructions they need to build nuclear,
chemical or biological weapons," he said.
"If Democrats had done that there would be mobs carrying torches in
the streets tonight. The Democrats would be accused of treason and
there would be calls for resignation," Cirincione told reporters Friday.
