U.S. Killed 181 Insurgents- WikiLeaks Founder

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

Julian Assange's, WikiLeaks founder,
web site stirred up debates about
classified information the public
should/shouldn't know.

"WikiLeaks aims to achieve political
reforms by getting out information
that has been suppressed to the public,"
Assange explained to Voice of America.

WikiLeaks web site posted classified military
documents spelling-out U. S. failures in
Afghanistan.

The documents were first released to The New
York Times, British daily, The Guardian and
German magazine Der Spiegel. They point to
a worse picture of the Afghan war than the
official public account, and include information
that Pakistan's intelligence services have been
helping the Taliban kill U.S. troops. Both ideas
have been discussed in the past.

The report could put U. S. citizens in harm's way,
and hurt national security.

"We have with-held approximately 15,000 reports
for further harm minimization process," he informed.
"We don't see anything here that is of tactical
significance. What we see is a lot of reports of
evidentiary significance that describe the cut/thrust
of the entire war over the last six years."

President Obama found out about the posting of the
documents last week, Robert Gibbs commented Monday-
White House Press Secretary.

The public release of the information was "a breach
of federal law," Gibbs said.

"We authenticate everything," Assange made-clear.
"To our knowledge, we've never been wrong. There
are no allegations by the rest of the press that
we've been wrong. We've never lost a source through
the process we go through."
