Iraq war leaks 'put lives at risk'

[Abyssdnb Profile]

A whistleblowing group has insisted its decision to publish secret US military documents was to reveal the truth about the war in Iraq despite criticism it could put the lives of British armed forces in danger.

WikiLeaks posted nearly 400,000 leaked classified reports on the internet which contain accounts of abuse and misconduct by Iraqi authorities and US forces. There are also some allegations of abuse by UK soldiers, the website said.

The reports relate to 109,000 deaths - including 66,000 civilians, of which 15,000 were previously undocumented, it claimed.

WikiLeak's founder Julian Assange told a news conference in central London: "This disclosure is about the truth. We hope to correct some of that attack on the truth that occurred before the war, during the war, and which has continued on since the war officially concluded. While I am not sure we have achieved the maximum possible (political impact) I think we are getting pretty close."

The Ministry of Defence said the website had been reckless and was putting the lives of British military personnel in danger.

An spokesman said: "We condemn any un-authorised release of classified material. This can put the lives of UK service personnel and those of our allies at risk and make the job of Armed Forces in all theatres of operation more difficult and more dangerous. It would be inappropriate to speculate on the specific detail of these documents without further investigation while the Iraq Inquiry is ongoing. There is no place for mistreatment of detainees and we investigate any allegation made against our troops."

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki condemned the leak as a political stunt and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also suggested the leaks put lives at risk.

Pentagon spokesman Marine Corps Colonel Dave Lapan said: "We deplore WikiLeaks for inducing individuals to break the law, leak classified documents and then cavalierly share that secret information with the world, including our enemies.

"We know terrorist organisations have been mining the leaked Afghan documents for information to use against us, and this Iraq leak is more than four times as large. The only responsible course of action for WikiLeaks at this point is to return the stolen material and expunge it from their websites as soon as possible."

The archive comes after 90,000 files chronicling civilian deaths and other incidents in Afghanistan were published by the site in July. A further 15,000 documents, which had been held back because of their sensitive content, will be released shortly it said.

Well said my friend. The only reason they don't want the information released to the public is because they know what atrocities they have committed in the various theaters of war. Don't get me wrong, i'm not blaming all the service men and woman that are serving in the armed forces. I know there are a few bad apples in the cart, that goes without saying. However It's the world leaders/politicians lead by the "secret Cabal" that decided to invade these places and turn serving military personnel, innocent men and woman, into ruthless robotic killers. Then everybody ends up with blood on their hands.

The funny thing is that when a soldier gets and injury or become disabled, and is unable to continue serving. They are discharged from military without a second thought. Most, if not all end up with depression/post-traumatic stress syndrome. Shortly followed by drugs use and alcoholism, and some just plain old commit suicide. They are programmed to be mindless robotic killers that kill on command, commit murder and are then discarded like garbage.

Sorry for the rant. No wonder ET's haven't made contact with us "the people" yet. If we were to see things from their point of view, what would they see??? A race hell bent on destroying the world they live on and are equally set on destroying each other.

Maybe if it were compulsory for the children of said leaders and politicians were made to send their kids to the front line to serve in Afghanistan and Iraq. Well maybe, just maybe they would then know the price that the so-called "war on terror" truly costs.
