Besides noting that the what the Bushies are doing is obviously an election year stunt, I can't add a thing to what Barbara at the Mahablog says about the newly released Saddam documents. Read what she says here and here.

UPDATE: No, wait -- go read this, too, from Gavin at Sadly, No! It examines the absurd scenario the Bushies have concocted to explain why the allegedly really, really incriminating documents are trickling out so slowly. Their explanation: the president of the United States cowers in fear of his own director of national intelligence, John Negroponte, who's said to be the roadblock. It has nothing to do with election-year politics at all! But let Gavin explain in more detail.
