Updated | 12:36 p.m. A spokesman for the Taliban told Britain’s Channel 4 News on Thursday that the insurgent group is scouring classified American military documents posted online by the group WikiLeaks for information to help them find and “punish” Afghan informers. Speaking by telephone from an undisclosed location, Zabihullah Mujahid, who frequently contacts news organizations, including The Times on behalf of the Taliban, said, “We are studying the report.” He added:

DiaryDig.org is an independently produced site which offers a rich searching and browsing interface to the Afghan and Iraq war logs made public by WikiLeaks. It was built as a research tool to help researchers, journalists, and ordinary people better make sense of what is in the hundreds of thousands of released documents. On Dec. 1, WikiLeaks began directing visitors to this site with links from their home page. Unfortunately, this also attracted the attention of repeated distributed denial of service attacks. Fighting these attacks has become a full-time job and a strain on our resources which we are unable to sustain. The source code for DiaryDig.org is freely available ; any developers interested in deploying copies of the site are encouraged to do so.

Wikileaks Afghanistan Data « Zero Intelligence Agents
By Drew Conway, on July 29th, 2010 By now, you have most certainly have read about the publication of a massive (72,000+) number of classified documents related to coalition operation in Afghanistan by the whistleblowers group Wikileaks . The data are available in several formats at the Wikileaks dedicated site . Before proceeding, I want to point out that given the nature by which this information was obtained and subsequently disseminated I am unclear as to the legal protections provided to those in possession of the data (i.e., retaining copies on their hard drives), or performing analysis (i.e., citing data in research). As such, I am not recommending or condoning anyone download the data until these questions are explicitly addressed.
Facing Afghan mistrust, al-Qaeda fighters take limited role in insurgency
On Aug. 14, a U.S. airstrike in the northern Afghan province of Kunduz killed a Taliban commander known as Abu Baqir. In a country where insurgents are killed daily, this attack was notable for one unusual detail: Abu Baqir, the military said afterward, was also a member of al-Qaeda. Although U.S. officials have often said that al-Qaeda is a marginal player on the Afghan battlefield, an analysis of 76,000 classified U.S. military reports posted by the Web site WikiLeaks underscores the extent to which Osama bin Laden and his network have become an afterthought in the war.
Afghan War Diary
Selon le quotidien polonais Gazeta Wyborcza , pas de doute, les 92 000 documents confidentiels sur le conflit en Afghanistan rendus publics par le site WikiLeaks sont un cadeau inestimable fait aux services secrets des pays qui suivent ce qui se passe à l’intérieur de l’OTAN. “Rien de tel, pour les analystes, que des rapports de reconnaissance bruts et non censurés pour connaître le fonctionnement des forces militaires américaines et de leurs alliés, leur tactique, l’échange des informations, le mode de prise de décision”, écrit Bartosz Weglarczyk, chef du service étranger de Gazeta Wyborcza, qui estime que ces informations menacent directement les soldats sur le terrain (les troupes polonaises opèrent dans l'est de l'Afghanistan). "Les rédacteurs du New York Times, du Guardian et du Spiegel affirment qu’ils ont pris des précautions pour ne pas mettre en danger les soldats qui sont sur place. C’est très naïf.

Afghan War Diary, 2004-2010 WikiLeaks page
25th July 2010 5:00 PM EST WikiLeaks has released a document set called the Afghan War Diary, an extraordinary compendium of over 91,000 reports covering the war in Afghanistan from 2004 to 2010. The reports, while written by soldiers and intelligence officers, and mainly describing lethal military actions involving the United States military, also include intelligence information, reports of meetings with political figures, and related details. The document collection is available on a dedicated webpage . The reports cover most units from the US Army with the exception of most US Special Forces' activities. The reports do not generally cover top secret operations or European and other ISAF Forces operations. We have delayed the release of some 15,000 reports from the total archive as part of a harm minimization process demanded by our source.

26 July 2010 Last updated at 14:29 GMT Leaked US military records on the war in Afghanistan, which were posted on the Wikileaks website as the Afghan War Diary , are a classified - and previously unreported - daily rundown of incidents of violence and criminality in Afghanistan. The documents offer a snapshot of the grim reality of conditions on the ground in Afghanistan and the challenges facing troops operating there. Here is a selection: 3 May 2004, bodyguards gunned down: "As many as 15 bodyguards assigned to protect Zabol Province Governor Mohammad Hosayni Khial were killed in an ambush in Shajoy.

Taliban sympathisers listening in to top-secret phone calls of US-led coalition | World news | guardian.co.uk
(U) On 22 Aug 2007 the UK Mirror published an article stating that some families of British soldiers deployed in Afghanistan had received "hate calls" from Taleban believed based in Pakistan. The report claims senior commanders believe the Taleban get the phone numbers by monitoring troops' mobile phone calls or from staff at Afghan phone companies. One of the newspaper's unnamed sources states that the use of mobile phones is "a huge security problem" and adds that "any numbers going to England can be called, or used to get addresses to send poison-pen letters to relatives". Numerous assessments on this topic have been conducted by different agencies (see References above) and this paper will extract the relevant details from each.
Polish attack on village kills five, wounds several, including pregnant woman at wedding party | World news | guardian.co.uk
These are the facts as I know them. All of this is subject to change. The morning of the incident, around 1030L, the RCP hit an IED near the village. A patrol from C Coy responded and hit asecond IED .
US authorities have known for weeks that they have suffered a haemorrhage of secret information on a scale which makes even the leaking of the Pentagon Papers during the Vietnam war look limited by comparison. The Afghan war logs, from which the Guardian reports today, consist of 92,201 internal records of actions by the US military in Afghanistan between January 2004 and December 2009 – threat reports from intelligence agencies, plans and accounts of coalition operations, descriptions of enemy attacks and roadside bombs, records of meetings with local politicians, most of them classified secret. The Guardian's source for these is Wikileaks , the website which specialises in publishing untraceable material from whistleblowers, which is simultaneously publishing raw material from the logs.
How this was released
War Logs: la plus grande fuite de renseignements de l’histoire de la guerre » Article » OWNI, Digital Journalism
Cet article sera mis-à-jour tout au long de la journée, en fonction de l'évolution des informations et de notre travail de crowdsourcing. [Dernière MAJ : 27/08 21h50] Après la divulgation il y a quelques mois d’ une vidéo dévoilant une bavure américaine en Irak, le site Wikileaks avait déclaré détenir des informations sensibles sur la guerre en Afghanistan.WarLogs: des vidéos pour comprendre » Article » OWNI, Digital Journalism
L'excellent travail du Guardian dans le traitement des données sur la guerre en Afghanistan publiées par Wikileaks est documenté par des vidéos. Nous les présentons dans cet article. Le Guardian est à la pointe de la couverture des évènements liés à la plus grosse fuite de l’histoire de la guerre. Le journal anglais met régulièrement en ligne de nouvelles vidéos, que nous vous présentons ici. “ Si le journalisme est bon, par nature, il est controversé ” affirme-t-il d’emblée. “ Le rôle du bon journaliste est de s’attaquer aux abus des puissants ”.26 juillet 2010 – 16:11 La peine de 52 ans de prison que risque l’analyste militaire américain Bradley Manning pour avoir envoyé au site WikiLeaks une vidéo confidentielle concernant les circonstances de la mort d’employés de l’agence de presse Reuters en Irak, en juillet 2007, ne semble pas avoir eu d’effet dissuasif. En effet, WikiLeaks, spécialisé dans la divulgation de documents confidentiels, a une nouvelle fois créé l’événement en mettant en ligne 91.731 rapports de l’armée américaine portant sur les opérations en Afghanistan. Dans les grandes lignes, ces documents confidentiels, rédigés sans fioritures, confirment certains éléments ou apportent un éclairage nouveau. 1- Les services secrets pakistanais (ISI) soutiennent le mouvement taleb afghan Officiellement, le Pakistan est au côté des Etats-Unis pour lutter contre les réseaux terroristes.
Le dessous des opérations en Afghanistan révélé par Wikileaks | Zone Militaire
Parmi la somme importante de documents confidentiels au sujet des opérations militaires en Afghanistan mis en ligne par le site WikiLeaks, un certain nombre d’entre eux concernent le contingent français. Ainsi, l’embuscade de la vallée d’Uzbin du 18 août 2008, au cours de laquelle 10 militaires français ont été tués, est évoquée au moins à deux reprises. Le premier rapport (voir photo) au sujet de cette affaire est partiel. Il sera complété par la suite par un second compte-rendu . Ces documents n’ajoutent rien au récit des combats qui avaient alors été faits par le général Puga, alors directeur du renseignement militaire à l’époque. Cependant, le dernier rapport concernant l’embuscade d’Uzbin fait état de 3 insurgés tués et de 4 autres blessés.
