COMMENTARY | August 11, 2010 The repressive and misogynistic forces the picture depicts are the very ones that were bolstered by U.S. policy in the early 1980s, and again now. The head of Jobs for Afghans proposes an answer to 'warlordism' and its medieval attitude toward women.

Wikileaks Soldier Who Found Rocket Launcher at Scene Says No Attack Was Imminent
The soldier in a now-famous Wikileaks video who found a rocket launcher at the scene of a controversial 2007 Apache helicopter attack , in Baghdad, said in a radio interview this week that he did not believe an ambush was imminent. The video shows 12 men, including two Reuters newsmen, standing on a street corner before being fired upon with the Apache’s 30mm cannon, resulting in what appears to be an unprovoked massacre. The video caused an international outcry after it was leaked to the media by the government watchdog Wikileaks.

I watched a show called "Freedom Watch" with Judge Andrew Napolitano not long ago. He was discussing the recent release of documents by an organization known as Wikileaks. I'm sure most of you know the story, but for those who may not, Wikileaks was given over 90,000 documents detailing questionable activities undertaken by American forces while conducting the occupation of Afghanistan.

Checkpoint Washington - Pentagon: Undisclosed Wikileaks documents 'potentially more explosive'
Updated 10:06 p.m. Pentagon officials believe they have identified the 15,000 classified Afghanistan war documents that the online site WikiLeaks has obtained and not yet disclosed, and the military is now sifting through them for references that could harm troops or civilians. The records at issue contain material that is "potentially more explosive, more sensitive," Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said, than the information in the 77,000 Afghanistan field reports and assessments WikiLeaks put online last month in an effort to shed light on the U.S. military's war in Afghanistan.
Editorials , World Thursday, August 12th, 2010 It is now more than two weeks that Wikileaks released Afghan War Diary comprising 92000 reports covering the war in Afghanistan from 2004 to 2009, but neither the Pakistan government nor media have tried to analyse and debunk the report so far. Though it has been admitted in the report that there was “low-level assessments about Pakistan’s ISI secretly supporting Taliban insurgents based on Afghan intelligence”, yet they insist that the evidence is credible. Americans doublespeak is obvious from the fact that whatever is mentioned in the reports regarding Pakistan they say the evidence is conclusive about Pakistan’s double game, whereas about American and NATO forces’ brutalities and war crimes they say that evidence is not conclusive.

Why WikiLeaks Won’t Stop the War -- In These Times
The War Logs, released by WikiLeaks, may contribute to the unfortunate and prevailing doctrine that wars are wrong only if they aren't successful. The War Logs–a six-year archive of classified military documents about the war in Afghanistan, released on the Internet by the organization WikiLeaks–documents a grim struggle becoming grimmer, from the U.S. perspective.Any citizen, any foreign spy, any member of the Taliban, and any terrorist can go to the WikiLeaks website, and download detailed information about how the U.S. military waged war in Afghanistan from 2004 to 2009. Members of that same military, however, are now banned from looking at those internal military documents. “ Doing so would introduce potentially classified information on unclassified networks ,” according to one directive issued by the armed forces. There was a time, just a few months ago, when the Pentagon appeared to be growing comfortable with the emerging digital media landscape.
Pentagon to Troops: Taliban Can Read WikiLeaks, You Can’t | Disinformation
By Ali Fisher The now familiar story of the release of documents by Wikileaks and reported by the New York Times , The Guardian and Der Spiegel has been analysed from numerous angles considering potential impact on reputation and the relationship between digital and the more traditional print media . The experience of Wikileaks has much in common with those engaged in Public Diplomacy and seeking to measure their attempts to disperse information on specific issues.
