Superbombs and Secret Jails: What to Look for in WikiLeaks’ Iraq Docs

The Afghanistan war logs were just the beginning. Coming as early as next week, WikiLeaks plans to disclose a new trove of military documents, this time covering some of the toughest years of the Iraq war. Up to 400,000 reports from 2004 to 2009 could be revealed this time — five times the size of the Afghan document dump.

It’s a perilous time in Iraq. Politicians are stitching together a new government. U.S. troops are supposed to leave by next December.

Pentagon leaders were furious over the Afghanistan documents, but the American public largely greeted them with yawns. Iraqis might not be so sanguine.

It’s hard to imagine Iraq will fall back into widespread chaos over the disclosures. But they can’t be good for the United States, as it tries to create a new postwar relationship with Iraq, or for the 50,000 U.S. troops and diplomats still over there.

We don’t know what’s in the documents. But here’s what we’ll be looking to find in the trove — and some unanswered questions that the documents might address.

1. I admire your dedication to purpose and resilience in doing so.

I often don't post in your threads, but almost always Recommend them.

It seems the country has given up objecting to these wars. Our populace has the resignation of a parent who knows they can't control their teen, and knows they can't do anything about it.

2. Until this SHIT STOPS and the traitors of HUMANITY

Are brought to trial and retribution.. The US WILL NEVER MOVE ON
but live in a DREAM STATE of denial..... like having an uncle Sam
that sexually abuses your children, rapes your wife, steals from your bank account but the family ....... Says

Lets move on and not look back... Uncle Sam is just being

UNCLE SAM.
