Re: Comparing the English version against the Arabic.

For two reasons.

First, much is lost in translation. Still, I would think the intel community would get this one right, this is an important IO item. Though I think the effect may have been greater if we hadn't waited since July to release this days before the constitutional referendum. Just thinking out loud, but maybe we could have taken greater advantage of this letter.

Second this carries over to numerous Arab news services and internet sites. Comparing the English version (if available) against the Arabic is like night and day in many cases.
