Wikileaks To Publish Remaining Afghan Documents

Posted by timothy on from the post-processing dept.

Albanach writes "WikiLeaks spokesman Julian Assange has been quoted by the Associated Press as stating 'the organization is preparing to release the remaining secret Afghan war documents.' According to Assange, they are halfway through processing the remaining 15,000 files as they 'comb through' the files to ensure lives are not placed at risk."

    Fact: There are names of informants in these documents. Nobody, not even wikileaks, has disputed this.

    3 names. One of whom was already dead, another of whom was a double-agent for the Taliban. The third I haven't seen any info on.

    Reporting involves analysis (and, hopefully, a basic understanding of what one is writing about). Assange isn't reporting. He's puking up someone else's documents on a Web page. Hopefully, they never hand out Pulitzers for that kind of thing.

    The Saudi, the Israeli, the North Korean, the Arab on the West Bank, would - quite rightly - regard any contact with Wikileaks as a death sentence.

    So are you saying death sentences are not possible, thus it can't happen?
    Or just that they all have 100% loyalty and thus don't need such threats to stop leaks from happening?

    I think both are clearly false. I don't see what other reason your post would serve though.
