WikiLeaks Releases Cache of 400,000 Iraq War Documents

[wraggster]

Today around 21:00 GMT, WikiLeaks declared an end to their media embargo of over 400,000 Iraq War documents after Al Jazeera released their story 30 minutes ahead of schedule. These documents, which have been kept under wraps by WikiLeaks for months, may reveal tortures and murders ignored by coalition forces during the fighting and occupation in Iraq. The Pentagon maintained that releasing these documents represented a danger to US troops, but already dozens of news outlets are scrambling to report on what could be a devastating blow to the US Armed Forces' already tattered image."
Reader Entropy98 points to the BBC's coverage, as well. If you care to download the collection of files, it's available as a torrent.

Downloading...

I have a small archive of WikiLeaks documents, because all the info has really been declassified beforehand (one reason nobody gets stopped from downloading and redistributing). WikiLeaks is rumoured to be a CIA front.
