I'm catching up on the Wikileak story.
A six-year archive of classified military documents about the war in
Afghanistan was published at the nonprofit website, Wikileaks. (I can't provide a link, because this system seems to have crashed.) There's debate about whether this information is ground-breaking, whether it endangers national security, and whether there is sufficient evidence of American war crimes.
The Washington Post describes the methods and motives of this website. And here's another profile by the New York Times. The White House says that this leak endangers national security. Is there evidence of war crimes?
Charli Carpenter says there are no surprises in these leaks. Andrew Sullivan has a pile of links from the blogosphere. Sullivan also says that there may be no surprises, but the news is extremely depressing just the same.
(more later.)
