WikiLeaks Set To Release Unpublished Iraq War Docs

Posted by Soulskill on from the round-two-about-to-begin dept.

Tootech writes with this snippet from Wired: "A massive cache of previously unpublished classified US military documents from the Iraq War is being readied for publication by WikiLeaks, a new report has confirmed. The documents constitute the 'biggest leak of military intelligence' that has ever occurred, according to Iain Overton, editor of the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a nonprofit British organization that is working with WikiLeaks on the documents. The documents are expected to be published in several weeks. Overton, who discussed the project with Newsweek, didn't say how many documents were involved or disclose their origin, but they may be among the leaks that an imprisoned Army intelligence analyst claimed to have sent to WikiLeaks earlier this year."

    He also seems to specifically target the US and only the US, as if no other country is currently doing dubious shit.

    Please stop all that 'poor me'/'poor us'/"it's unfair" whiny victim talk.

    For a time, the newly "elected" Kenyan government ***WAS*** his sole and unique target. And if anyone is to blame about you not knowing about how his work impacted the course of history in Kenya -- you only have yourself to blame. It's not like he was making a big secret out of it.
