Website Releases Secrets on War [Wikileaks]
• JULIAN E. BARNES And SIOBHAN GORMANThousands of secret military documents were released Sunday by a Web-based organization, a gigantic leak of classified information that appeared to present a bleak view of the Afghanistan war and could have a profound impact on the public perception



The Govt. and military keep secrets for various reasons, including, quite often, to hide mistakes, incompetence, and crimes.
Only after we've gone through the thousands of pages released will we understand more clearly 'why' each of these documents were classified.
Until then, let the little crybabies in Washinton whine and bawl and show their horrid indignation.
