WikiLeaks - Threat for Pentagon, Alert for Public Thinking.
by Milota Sidorova
It's not even two weeks after website WikiLeaks has launched part of US military documents It's been just about two weeks that the world could take a direct look on some U.S. military documents from the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. The amount of classified documents is huge, according some sources believes WikiLeaks has released up to 77,000. Between the most disputed is the raw video recording from the U.S. helicoptere Crazyhorse and its mission from April 5th 2010 in Iraq. That was the date when U.S. helicopter shoot open fire on 15 Iraq civilians including two Reuters journalists that became international crisis. WikiLeaks suggests it received the video copy from Reuters that couldn't and didn't publish it yet. The founder of WikiLeaks, 39-years old Julian Assange said it might help focus public debate on the war in those countries and on “possible atrocities by US-led forces”.But now the fate of the site that was cited by Time Magazine as potential important! journalistic toolas the Freedom of Information Act. Pentagon has requested that site would “immediately return” all of the documents. The US Defense Department requests all versions of them obtained directly or indirectly from Pentagon databases records. Pentagon said the documents could threatened the safety of their war missions and began its own investigation. So it has ordered to all of American soldiers to stop access the WikiLeaks website to “view or download the publicized classified information”. At least that was in the message from the National Security Litigation Division of the Navy's Judge Advocate General's Corps. But Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said there was not such issue in the Army and Air Force and according several sources so far it's been far-reaching effort by the Defense Department to collect and keep all the information within its own walls.
