Iraq archives chief moves to seal Saddam-era files - By Guillaume Decamme BAGHDAD, Sept 26, 2012 (AFP) - The terror of Saddam Hussein's secret police has lived on long after his fall through their millions of reports, which are still dragged up by Iraqi politicians and the media, often with damaging results. But Saad Iskander, the head of Iraq's national archives, thinks the documents have been used for long enough, and is pushing legislation that would criminalise their release without the consent of the people they concern. “Baath party officials, the secret organisations, the secret police, they all received and wrote millions and even billions of reports on ordinary people, party officials,” Iskander told AFP. http://bit.ly/OqEOkd Source: http://www.sundaytimes.lk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=24692:-iraq-archives-chief-moves-to-seal-saddam-era-files-by-guillaume-decamme&catid=81:news&Itemid=625 See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/OqEOkd+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
