NYT: “During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, United States forces captured a voluminous archive of documents and recorded meetings that chronicle the deliberations of Saddam Hussein and his inner sanctum. Much of the collection has yet to be made public. But the Conflict Records Research Center, a government archive, has released 20 transcripts and documents this week in conjunction with a conference on the Iran-Iraq war that is being convened by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Even in an age of WikiLeaks, such a detailed record of a foreign leader’s private ruminations is rare.”
