It was several days after the previously reported Monday release, and earlier than some more recent indications, but WikiLeaks finally released its 391,832 “war logs” files from the Iraqi War. As with the previous leak, The Guardian was at the forefront with a major, well-organized web release . The document dump is by far the largest release of classified war documents in American history, and centers around field reports detailing civilian killings , friendly fire incidents , and killings of insurgents who were trying to surrender . The documents revealed 15,000 previously unreported killings, and underscored that the military actually had been keeping track of civilian deaths, despite claims that no such counts were being made. Another major revelation surrounded a standing order that existed ordering US military personnel not to investigate the rampant torture by Iraqi security forces .

Click on the headlines to read the responses to SPIEGEL provided by Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell ... "We deplore WikiLeaks for inducing individuals to break the law, leak classified documents and then cavalierly share that secret information with the world, including our enemies. We know terrorist organizations have been mining the leaked Afghan documents for information to use against us and this Iraq leak is more than four times as large. By disclosing such sensitive information, WikiLeaks continues to put at risk the lives of our troops, their coalition partners and those Iraqis and Afghans working with us. The only responsible course of action for WikiLeaks at this point is to return the stolen material and expunge it from their websites as soon as possible."

Irak : l'horreur ordinaire révélée par Wikileaks - LeMonde.fr
Le Monde , conjointement avec le New York Times , le Guardian , le Bureau of investigative journalism et le Spiegel , a pu consulter en avant-première 400 000 rapports de l' arm ée américaine en Irak , rendus publics ce vendredi par le site Wikileaks, spécialisé dans la publication de documents confidentiels. Il s'agit des rapports d'incidents, rédigés par les officiers sur le terrain, qui constituent le fichier SIGACTS ("significant activity") des forces américaines de janvier 2004 à décembre 2009. Une masse de documents qui décrivent, jour à près jour, les attentats, les échanges de tirs, les fouilles de caches d'armes, les arrestations, et les violences contre les civils. Confidentiels, les "rapports d'incidents" ne sont pas classés secret défense. Les documents publiés par Wikileaks ne contiennent pas les rapports des forces spéciales américaines, ni les mémos des services de renseignement.
