An Army of Translators - The Gathering

And so it begins. The Army of Translators will start to give us the look inside a tyrannical government as its documents are released. The most chilling thing about the Third Reich was not its men or equipment... it was the train schedules with names and destinations... and the receiving documents used for processing. Case upon case of them. That is the face of horror.

(Not that I actually suggested anything like a Full-Spectrum Distributed Intelligence Community as a *better* idea... heaven forefend that Congress actually do something)

An Army of Freepers (h/t: Michelle Malkin) hits the documents. Dan Rather had it *easy* compared to what will happen now.
