No U.S. intelligence sources or practices were compromised by the posting of secret Afghan war logs by the WikiLeaks website, the Pentagon has concluded, but the military thinks the leaks could still cause significant damage to U.S. security interests.
The assessment, outlined in a letter [written by Defense Secretary Robert Gates] obtained Friday by The Associated Press, suggests that some of the Obama administration's worst fears about the July disclosure of almost 77,000 secret U.S. war reports have so far failed to materialize.
The White House led with the notion that Wikileaks War Logs might put people at risk, but that talking point has long since been abandoned.
If you keep in mind that the Government (via the NY Times) already knew what was going to be published,
it's hard to imagine that they didn't mitigate the potential fallout and that's why there's no harm that can be shown.
Not to mention that the Feds have been doing everything to keep Manning's lawyers from seeing the damage assessments from the leaks.
