"Mr. Negroponte, release those documents!" -- Take 2

Roughly a day ago I posted "Mr. Negroponte, release those documents!" in which I argued for releasing a large volume of unscreened and unvetted  captured Iraqi documents and tapes to the blogosphere for piecemeal translation by "an army of Davids." Roughly half an hour ago I ran across this item at RedState:


Beware Blogswarming the Unreleased Iraqi Docs
By: smagar

If the Director of National Intelligence, John Negroponte, is hesitant about releasing thousands of untranslated and unanalyzed Saddam Iraqi regime documents, as well as hours of tape recordings of Hussein's conversations with his cronies, that's fine with me.  And, if we're going to be fair and rational about how this Global War on Terrorism is prosecuted, it should be fine with the rest of us.

Unfortunately, more and more of the conservative blogosphere is demanding a full release of ALL the documents and tapes, with only passing or indifferent concern to the impact on American intelligence, military and diplomatic operations.  And THAT should concern us all.

Do we want the Bush administration to manage the war in/diplomacy related to Iraq, or a conservative blogswarm?  Now's the time to ask that question.

Please consider this post a retraction of my earlier post on this matter.
