Well at least the Iraq leak would make me wonder what kind of disinfo is it when it puts the whole operation in bad light. That's like a murderer handing over the murder weapon to the police to throw them off his trail. Makes no sense.

Of course we 'knew' but that's pretty irrelevant. We need the evidence for it and there it is now. Without wikileaks and the leaker we probably would've never seen this. And it's not just the torture. For example the lie that the US government didn't keep track of civillian casualties is now exposed and the involvement of mercenary companies etc.
