Recently released Al-Qaeda Documents

I have no idea why the Bush Admin is so hesitant to release more of the documents being captured out there. Actually, I do know, but I disagree with it and think it is incredibly counter-productive. Anyways, hxxp://austinbay.net/blog/?p=947 contains a summary of a new batch released thru the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point. You can follow the links to either the documents themselves or to a summary of others.

It's counter-productive to keep the enemy guessing as to how much we really know about them? Seriously?

I'm not saying indiscriminately release everything, but the fact that they've released probably far under 1% of what they've found in 5 years is ridiculous. They also seem to be attempting to bury what was found in Iraq (probably so as not to embarass the Russians/French/Germans and get them behind us on Iran.)
