This is kind of old news, but the above article talks about the recent find of 69 (other sources say 74) of Thomas Jefferson's books that were believed to be lost from his second library. His first library was donated to create the Library of Congress. Apparently after donating his first library he needed to cure his book fix and compiled another 3000 book library. Coolest part of this article is how Jefferson would mark his books.

For those who want to see deeper into the behind the scenes of the Iraq War this seems to be an incredible find. Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense for first several years of the war, has a new memoir out and had a website created to drum up interest. I've only begun to explore the library section, but it has thousands of declassified papers regarding the Iraq and Afghan wars. Great reading for history junkies.
