(Oct. 15) -- It's happening again ... only bigger.
On Monday, the whistle-blower website WikiLeaks will release nearly 400,000 pages worth of classified U.S. Army documents on the war in Iraq, making it the single largest military leak in U.S. history. The number of documents will dwarf the 77,000 pages of sensitive material on the war in Afghanistan that WikiLeaks released in July.
In preparation for the arrival of the as-yet-unspecified material, the US military has set up a 120-person task force to begin reviewing a cache of classified documents it believes might be found in what Wik

So, the feds are filtering more "highly classified" information through their little black ops project Wikileaks? I'm sorry, but after the most recent fiascos involving the site's owner, I am more resolute than ever in my belief that that entire site is founded, funded, and managed directly by the US federal government (likely with a great deal of input from the international governments as well.) You don't reveal any classified government documents without finding yourself in a deep dark cell, let alone thousands of classified documents, unless your bosses are the same people who decide what's classified in the first place. WL's founder not only managed to be out and about in public while supposedly being on the highest level's "most wanted for questioning" list, but he even found himself with an international arrest warrant for rape which was incredibly pulled and silenced just hours after being issued. The site serves three purposes: disinformation, slow filtration of legitimate information to lessen impacts, and disclosure of potential threats to legitimately classified information & government security. IMO, the site itself is dangerous not to the government, but more to people who pick up this supposedly top secret information and then take it upon themselves to regurgitate it everywhere they can... those folks will ultimately be targeted by the feds as the security threats... Assange? of as little an interest level to the powers that be than any other co-worker would be.
