Review of panel discussion re: captured Iraqi documents

I got around to viewing the resource that I talked about here.

The video starts with about an hour of Representative Pete Hoekstra (R, Michigan and Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence) speaking to the audience. Judging from the question and answer period, the audience was composed primarily of members of the press, with politically-oriented magazines figuring prominently.

Hoekstra talked for few minutes about the problem of intelligence leaks before moving on to the subject of the Iraqi documents. He reiterated that about 48,000 boxes of documents had been captured, and from those about 4,000 documents had been released to the public. In touching on the significance of the captured documents, he emphasized that by far the bulk of the interesting stuff had been deliberately destroyed by the Iraqis. The typical government office of interest had been covered in the ashes of burned documents--literally. Thus, the 40,000 boxes contain generally mundane stuff except where the Iraqis messed up and left something juicy lying around.

Hoekstra said that about one-third of the reviewed documents had received a "classified" stamp and thus would not be released to the public until they are declassified.

At about the half hour mark of the video, Hoekstra began taking questions from the audience.

The panel discussion, which featured Thomas Joscelyn among others, occupied the rest of the roughly 1.5 hour video.
The panel did touch on the documentary evidence relating to Russian duplicity in assisting Iraq while trying to appear to be the friend of the US.
