US government published inadvertently atom bomb structural drawings

Transparency is good: Many eyes see more than few. That the US government in the Iraq
published konfiszierte documents in the Web, in order to accelerate their analysis, is to
that extent a success. The fact that in the documents however atom bomb structural
drawings were found provided now for hectic censorship measures.

In the night to Friday the US government took an information portal from the net after
protests from the international atomic energy authority and presseanfragen, over which in
the Iraq konfiszierte documents could be seen. In "approximately a dozen" of these
world-wide callable documents information had been found obvious, which could be used for
the building of a nuclear weapon, reports the "New York Times".

The at least potentially dangerous breakdown led operation to the total locking "of the
Iraqi Freedom document portal", which had been furnished actually exactly for this purpose
by the US government: To use the public, in order to find nevertheless still proofs for
Iraqi plans to the building from massenvernichtungswaffen to. Nevertheless the Bush
government will be able probably hardly to book the extremely embarrassing breakdown as
success: The documents had been used it before the Web publication well-known and among
other things as justification for the Iraq campaign opposite the UN security council. The
bad joke thereby is that the members of the UN security council for safety reasons only a
defused, strongly censored form to face had gotten. However the US government offered to
the common Web web-Surfer between Washington and Warsaw, Tokyo and Teheran full file
inspection.

The origin of the documents

The American secret services thought to the Iraq some capable of to beginning of the
nineties, briefly before beginning of the second Gulf War, which Saddam Husseins assault
on Kuweit released. If it would put on Hussein on it, the Iraq could arm itself within a
yearly atomically, was called it at that time. So far prospered the Iraqi mass destructive
weapon program should have been.

Nearly one and a half decades later this thesis was endeavored again, in order to justify
the US campaign against the Iraq. But the represented thesis of the Bush government, the
Hussein regime vehement before the UN and the world has massenvernichtungswaffen, could be
never confirmed. However that the Iraqi atomic research program in principle over the
know-how ordered to build atomic weapons it could be confirmed.

The proof for it was in documents, which had konfisziert the Americans in the Iraq.
Partially these had been arranged in the Neunzigern, partially only 2002 by Iraqi
authorities, in order to document in relation to the UN that the Iraq had not given its
programs up for the development conventional weapons.

Among them were appropriate diagrams, building guidances and analyses, from which it was
to be inferred that it would probably not have been missing for the conversion of possibly
existing nuclear plans at know-how. A part of these documents the Americans in clearly
censored form at the end of of 2002 in the apron submitted to the US campaign against Iraq
to the uncertainty advice.

Wrongly understood transparency

Substantially more of these documents, turned out now, got Web web-Surfer starting from
March 2005 in the InterNet to see. On urge of republican congressional representatives,
who do not end themselves because of wanting Iraq conflict and saw suspended to its
increasingly doubtful reason rising public pressure, and against the resistance of the US
secret services the US government published ever more the documents in the Web,
konfiszierten in the Iraq. It concerned probably more to hide than only demonstrating that
one did not have anything: "operation the Iraqi Freedom document portal" should accelerate
also the collection and analysis of the enormous amount at documents. 48,000 crates of
full documents had konfisziert the Americans, and somewhere in it still the proof could
hide itself that the invasion had been justified nevertheless correctly into the Iraq.

Were actual in the published documents some dozen on the Iraqi atomic program, reported
today the "New York Times". And those have it in their clarity in itself: Which was to be
seen there, bordered on a building guidance. "shocked" representatives of the
international atomic energy authority would have with Gregory L trained, the US
representative with the IAEA, protest announced in the last week. Disclaimed that trained.
Only an inquiry the "New York Times" brought the stone in rolling: Later the US government
the plug drew and took few hours the entire web page of the net.

Extremely thoroughly. Neither with InterNet archives, nor in the Caches of the large
search machines are also only traces of the thousands of documents. The left to publish,
is unnecessary: There nothing more is, the address is erased apparently even from the DNS
listings of the Internetprovider.

On a repayment of the side US secret service representatives did not by the way only push
already few weeks, after "operation had gone the Iraqi Freedom document portal" in March
2005 on-line. Already in the spring 2005 it came to first document deletions. UN
Waffenkontrolleure were gestolpert over prescriptions to the production of the poisonous
gases tabun and sarin. The continued world-wide publication partial highly dangerous
documents discovered as qualified off there, as unsuccessful criticism. "extremely
irresponsibly" that ran off, commentated for instance A. Bryan Siebert opposite the "New
York Times". The man knows, about which he speaks: Until 2002 it led the department of
secrecy with the US atomic program.
