Proof Iraqi WMD Moved to Syria?

As you might already know, there is an effort to translate the
millions of seized Saddam-era government memos (Stalinist governments
produce corpses and memos in roughly equal volume). They've
periodically found interesting tidbits, but [1]this could be much
bigger than anything yet discovered.
The post says the memo comes from July 13 2003, but that would be
several months after the April fall of the regime. OTOH, based on
[2]this (look toward the bottom) Muharram 10th appears to be roughly
March 14th 2003, which would make much more sense in regards to the
content, as that's roughly 5 days before the [3]invasion.
Presumably more can and will be done to authenticate the memo, but I
have to wonder: is this vindication for the [4]wisdom of crowds?
I'm sure the mainstream media will be all over this memo,
investigating the claim raised just as thoroughly they did when the
Swift Vets came forward: first it will be ignored, then endless
questions raised about motives, who provided financial backing, etc.,
and Karl Rove's malign influence will certainly be cited at some
point. We'll see how things end up. If it survives all that, it
certainly changes things.
