Operation Iraqi Freedom Documents

This is not related to camera phones, but it's so interesting, I can't resist plublishing it here. The US government is releasing intelligence documents from Irak - for bloggers' feedback. [via Friday afternoons nanoTV news bulletin]

"U.S Rep. Peter Hoekstra, R-Holland, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, today commended a decision by the Bush administration to publicly release millions of pages of documents, recordings and other media captured during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom and Desert Storm.

This is a bold decision in favor of openness that will go a long way towards improving our understanding of prewar Iraq,” Hoekstra said. “By placing these documents online and allowing the public the opportunity to review them, we can cut years off the time it will take to gain knowledge from this potential treasure trove of information. This decision effectively places a collar on the bureaucracy and unleashes the power of people and the Internet to help speed this process.” Peter Hoekstra Website
