 Wikileaks Unloads 400,000 Documents on IraqPosted on Oct 23, 2010
The release of some 400,000 classified military documents on the Iraq War has led the U.N. to call on the Obama administration to investigate American troops’ human rights abuses. Leaked documents tying British forces to possible war crimes sparked a demand for a public inquiry in the U.K. as well. WikiLeaks, the website responsible for the leak, says the files document 109,000 deaths in Iraq—including 66,000 civilians—from 2004 onward. —JCL

I have,Hard time with this one folks. I had the priviledge to work with injured vietnam vets at Tripler Hosp. honolulu 1969/72. my heart goes out to these damaged returning Veterans, right now 9000 homeless vets, living in the streets of America home of the brave? The mental health therapy for returning vets has always been shoddy and useless. If the nation is not willing to take care of these Vets, do not send them into battle, when asked most have no idea why they are there, just as vietnam, more soldier suicides, more domestic violence all for lack of care! WikiLeaks Please Leak some more,The Madness of War eats us All alive, Capitalism unbridled cannibalizes itself, Like child labor children soldiers,is the symbol of our time. Societies that cannot regulate capitalism usually end in War or Slavery for profits. Watch how capitalists screw Haiti, do not worry we here are next!

Wikileaks is providing again the greatest service to humanity in the service of truth; the truth about the savagery and barbarity of the American military-industrial complex and their political allies in both America and Iraq.
What is needed now is an international court of justice to bring the criminals in the US and Iraq to justice and have them hanged up for their crimes against humanity after a swift non-costly trial.
To morristhe(unwise): I don’t know what planet you come from, but I know that people like you are part of the problem, not the solution, for posting the nonsense you posted on this thread!

As the brooo-ha-ha continues on this subject, it is well to remember that leakers and whistle-blowers are just about all we have between us and nihilism.

Dollars alone cannot buy peace, assorted dissidents, heretics, and revolutionists
Report thisare constantly attempting to overthrow US installed Democratic governments. That
is why the US military must maintain its presence infinitely to help keep the lights
of freedom burning. Withdrawal would be a tragedy for thousands of America`s
friends in Iraq and Afghanistan who would be forced to flee after years of loyal
service.

Obama the candidate would have been on this like a homeless bum on a baloney sandwich! we’re Americans, by golly and we don’t tolerate these evil doings!
Obama POTUS will evade, invoking the official secrets doctrine. Then deny even the obvious. All the while continuing to dissimulate as a voice and a force of the American people… rather than admit what he is..
Yeah, I’m a disappointed and betrayed Obama supporter.
Adios!
