NYT ARTICLE: Conflict Records Research Center & Saddam Hussein Audio Tapes

Jan 28, 2011

New York Times:  "Hussein Wanted Soviets to Head Off US in 1991"

New York Times:  "The Eve of War: Four Days of Diplomacy"

The Conflict Records Research Center (CRRC) was established to fulfill the Secretary of Defense’s intent to enable research into captured records with “complete openness and rigid adherence to academic freedom and integrity.” The CRRC’s mission is to facilitate the use of captured records to support research, both within and outside the government.

Electronic copies reside in a restricted U.S. Government database. The CRRC’s primary purpose is to make copies of a significant portion of these records available to scholars in the CRRC’s researcher database.  We seek to make these copies, along with full English translations, available as quickly and responsibly as possible, while taking into account legitimate national security concerns, the integrity of the academic process, and risks to innocent individuals.

The New York Times covered the CRRC in a full length article, as well as extensive multi-media coverage.
