If the information on the progress of the war from the much-ballyhooed
Wikileaks publication of 92,000 documents didn’t come as a big surprise
to Americans who have paid attention to the Af-Pak theater, it
apparently will come as a big surprise to those in Afghanistan who have
worked with US forces. Julian Assange’s leak included the names of hundreds of informants
and people working with US forces in Afghanistan. Those people will
now have to be protected, and it’s not likely they’ll be replaced
Well, let’s make that the Americans and the Swedes. Bradley
Manning, Assange’s source within the US military, will face trial for
his crimes in passing along classified material. If any of these people
get killed after their exposure, he should be charged with at least
being an accessory to their murders. But the man who actually published
their names is hiding behind the skirts of the Swedish government,
which allows Assange to publish classified material with no
consequences.
Wikileaks docs can’t stop Congress from passing war funding bill
