Pentagon admitted that WikiLeaks leaked documents don't reveal key intelligence

[zulchzulu]

All the fear and chest-beating from various sources and the new drum-beating to go after WikiLeaks with new document leaks never mention the fact that the Pentagon, after assessing the initial leaks last July, found that no key intelligence was leaked.

The online leak of thousands of secret military documents from the war in Afghanistan by the website WikiLeaks did not disclose any sensitive intelligence sources or methods, the Department of Defense concluded.

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said there is still concern Afghans named in the published documents could be retaliated against by the Taliban, though a NATO official said there has been no indication that this has happened.

The assessment, revealed in a letter from Gates to the Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sen. Carl Levin (D-Michigan), comes after a thorough Pentagon review of the more than 70,000 documents posted to the controversial whistle-blower site in July.

Will the mainstream media be responsible and mention this?
