March 13, 2006 – US puts Iraqi doc­u­ments on the Web:

con­ser­v­a­tive blog­gers, eager to bol­ster the case for going to war against Iraq, have long argued for release of the doc­u­ments. They gained a pow­er­ful ally last month in Michi­gan Repub­li­can Pete Hoek­stra, chair­man of the House Intel­li­gence Com­mit­tee. In an inter­view with blog­ger Andrew Mar­cus, Hoek­stra called for Negro­ponte to release the doc­u­ments online. ”Unleash the pow­er of the Net,” Hoek­stra said. ”Let the blo­gos­phere go.” Kansas Repub­li­can Pat Roberts, chair­man of the Sen­ate Intel­li­gence Com­mit­tee, backed Hoek­stra’s proposal.

Novem­ber 3, 2006 – U.S. Web Archive Is Said to Reveal a Nuclear Primer:

in recent weeks, the site has post­ed some doc­u­ments that weapons experts say are a dan­ger them­selves: detailed accounts of Iraq’s secret nuclear research before the 1991 Per­sian Gulf war. The doc­u­ments, the experts say, con­sti­tute a basic guide to build­ing an atom bomb.…

Offi­cials of the Inter­na­tion­al Atom­ic Ener­gy Agency, fear­ing that the infor­ma­tion could help states like Iran devel­op nuclear arms, had pri­vate­ly protest­ed last week to the Amer­i­can ambas­sador to the agency, accord­ing to Euro­pean diplo­mats who spoke on con­di­tion of anonymi­ty because of the issue’s sen­si­tiv­i­ty. One diplo­mat said the agency’s tech­ni­cal experts “were shocked” at the pub­lic disclosures. 

Last time two peo­ple were accused of reveal­ing nuclear weapon designs, they wound up in the pho­to above, and then in his/hers elec­tric chairs. I added Pat Roberts face to bring the whole thing up to date.

Trolls take note: these doc­u­ments are from before the first Gulf War, you know, back when we were sell­ing weapons to Hussein.
